    This is good news, Simmons + picks is way better then what the Nets can offer

    If Morey is willing to send a package around Ben Simmons then you pull the trigger. Ben can't shoot so he's useless around Harden anyways.

    yeah that will never happen.
    Tilman would rather have Harden stay out for the season than send him to Morey's arms.

    And I think most of the league knows it.

    Hilarious that we have to hope Morey saves our ass even now that he's working for another team lol

    To hell with where he "prefers" to go. He's got two more years on that deal. The front office should take the best offer for him (multiple young studs and as many future first round picks as possible).

    24y/o all star Simmons locked up for 5 years on the minimax >>> expiring 27 y/o Dinwiddie, expiring Allen and inefficient 26y/o LeVert for 3 years.

    Tilman can suck a fat one if he wants to sabotage the team out of pettiness.

    btw Simmons is going to force his way to the Lakers in less than 2 years in a very ugly fashion. I wouldn't want him here anyway.
    With Tilmann as owner he will bolt out as soon as he comes.

    Gimme Ben and Thybulle and a far-out pick or two and I'm dine.

    Trading a superstar for a group of "nice" starters is always a huge L. At least in trading for Ben we can get another (potential) franchise guy.

    former coach he loves in BK

    former GM he loves in Philly

    I bet Tilman would rather just keep Harden as this situation implodes than to give him to Daryl Morey

    Shams confirming Harden wants out.

    As to where he wants to go, WGAF.

    That's your standard? Crap? Forget it
    The nets package is not even in the conversation as far I am concerned. No matter what kind of noise Harden is trying to make.

    He is James Harden and has top 5 trade value and is healthy. Our standard is not some Dinwiddle.

    Most of the teams out there will be going crazy doing offers right now to get him.

    Maybe Patrick will tell Tilman how Simmons has a higher rating in nba 2k then all the Nets players.
