    From reaching the finals? You mean we were 1 game away from winning the title right? We would've owned the Cavs.

    With this thinking you'll never win a ship.

    You have to adjust to the now, plan ahead and not cling onto nostalgia.

    i like the nets players as role players. Not in any sort of Harden trade.

    Simmons or Booker please.

    Can involve a third team.

    It's true you won't get a superstar back.

    Picks are the way to go..... Flippity flip them for better picks, flip them for assets and strike when there will be an Allstar.

    I will be the first to admit that it's not easy.

    for real tho...that offer isn’t even enough for Bradley Beal...that tweet is right

    media’s been sh*tting on Harden so long they think his value around the league is actually sh*t

    if u trade Harden for that, immediate slaps to the face for the whole front office...y’all will be the biggest laughingstock since Boston-BK

    Pelicans at least immediately ended up with Zion after trading AD...he was the actual prize even tho he wasn’t part of the trade...Zo, Hart, and Ingram is not what has Pelicans fans happy and excited

    we don’t even have full control of our picks for many years...my god we are fcked

    yes and if can get something back for wb and move out other pieces then rockets are right there again.

    harden top 5 in league. wb top 20 maybe higher. you dont lose all you had to get that for nothing..surely tilman knows how to get credit and flip an asset for more.

    since morey gone and tilman acting as head negotiator maybe just maybe tilman has been apprenticing himself and the son to learn nba business from one of the best in morey and now spend specifically now forward running the tinker talk morey did.

    how they handle everything but harden and harden to offload all will tell us all we need to know about their skill. heck they may pull it off..
    if im tilman i try to keep james and play nba gm for a moment.

    we all hate that when owners do it but lets see how it goes..it now officially tilman show. ive been to his restaurants plenty so im not holding my breath but dude can swindle banks lets see if can swindle some gms. doubtful but tilman is lucky and hes doing what many of us might try to do and that play gm like jerry jones and cuban.

    we see he went with silas so hes keeping it basketball in parts...maybe silas and scouts tell him who what and he does the deal part..hes passionate homer...at least theres that lol

    what do you honestly expect to get for James Harden? we are not going to get an impact player in return. the point of trading for a star is to put him next to stars you already have. the point of trading a star is usually rebuilding. young talent, picks, and cap relief. its all there. that offer SHOULD get Bradley beal but Washington does not want to rebuild since Wall is back and they can't move him at this time. our stars are older so it makes more sense to do it now. if you don't think its a good deal now it would be even less in a year or two.

    why would you want great pieces back anyway ? the picks we gave away are top 4 protected. we should go full tank mode if we do this so we can give ourselves a chance to keep them.

    We don’t have to trade anybody, the leaks are to see if Stone or Tilman panics

    If Tilman trades Harden I’m done until he sells the team.
