    All-Star shooting guard in the making, along with a franchise C from Austin, TX. Check out their chemistry.

    I'm beginning to come around. Throw in Dinwiddie and Prince and 4 1st Rounders and I'm ready.

    No thank you to Kyrie Irving. I'd rather have picks and these young guys to watch. Let's have some fun (Without Eric Gordon)... Get rid of all the drama.

    The Nets have to give me Levert/Allen/Dinwiddie/Prince/top6 pick in this draft/future first in 2025

    I wouldn't say im ready ... but dinwiddie, levert, prince , allen ... those are all guys i could live with .... especially if the deal comes with draft capital.

    I dont think there's a blue chip prospect out there we are getting for harden . Id rather take 3 or 4 shots and hope that someone breaks out than take 1 shot with simmons.

    yeah the Nets 4some or whatever isn't "bad"... but there's no clear cut long time, all-star there.

    Levert could be a few times all-star, in the East.

    But there's got to be A LOT of other value coming back

    I’m surprised no one has brought up Atlanta

    Hunter Huerter Reddish Collins #6 future first
    Throw in Dedmon and take EG off Houston’s hands?

    They keep Trae & Clint. Harden plays with his favourite center and Trae? Can probably take PJ with him. ATL. Magic city ATL?

    He's 26, completely injury riddled and not that great.

    He's basically Josh Richardson with false perception upside.

    everyone here hates Eric Gordon.



    Gordon is as good as Caris.

    It'll be peak Houston luck if we trade a top 3 player in his prime with the main piece we get in return a 26 year old Caris LeVert.

    If they still had Centers in the all-star game, I feel like Jarrett Allen could make it one day.

    Dude is only 22 still! Unreal!

    I’ve always like Levert. But I never thought we’d trade Harden for him.

    How bad are his injuries? That's worrisome.

    Levert is a walking bucket but that's pretty much it. The nets package has to include a boatload of picks if that's where harden is indeed going

    Bad enough where I wouldn't trade for him with any expectation other than a modern Kevin Martin. He's not a franchise guy.

    Nothing from the Nets would make this team any better than those late Rick Adelman Rockets.

    No he isn't. Caris has far more to his game than just scoring.................That is all Gordon does

    Ben Simmons 100/100 times over.

    Simmons is the only possible player we've been tied to that could actually be a franchise player.

    No he doesn’t, he’s mediocre as hell, inefficient scorer, and is barely a positive asset.

    Wait what?

    Gordon is the best perimeter defender on the Rockets.

    Do you guys watch the games or just complain online?
