    I do not think Phili has great assets to offer. Contracts reasonable but long 3 plus years per guy. In addition, Phili is now competitive so the picks are a joke late teens to mid 20's is not a sweet spot.

    Daryl would need to bring in a third team with a top 7pick in this year's draft plus those future 1st's to even start the conversation. I said it before, love or hate James he gets mentioned in the LeBron, KD, Kobe, other legends conversation all the time. Simmons and Embid are just very talented players in the modern era.

    You do not trade James unless you are getting an ultra rare super car in return.

    NBA trades are usually one sided.

    Trading James Harden will be a huge financial loss in TV Ratings in China and Attendance.

    James Harden is a Icon for the Houston Rockets and in China.

    Only the Celtics trading away Garnett, Pierce to the Nets for Tons of Unprotected picks. Is the best deal.

    Unfortunately deals will never happen again.
    The GM can lose their job.

    I would rather let James Harden play out his 3 year Contract.

    China will back the Rockets again. It will take time, promotion. James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Yao Ming can help.
    Morey is thankfully gone such a black cloud and a burden with his arrogance. Making the Referees and the Commisoner enemies.

    In addition to visiting Meek Mill numerous times while locked up, James is also pretty tight with AI. Just gonna leave that there.

    Every media outlet and talk show want harden out of Houston it seems. The same talk shows who were smashing him are now talking about him in glowing terms with the chance of being in Philly. The Htown hate is real!

    This is the trade I want if Harden was traded.

    Booker, Oubre and 2 1st round picks at the least.
