    Levert has the chance to be as good as Simmons and did you just see what Miami got in Hero?

    Dude, tell Harden forget about the Nets. They just can't cut it. I'd rather trade Harden to the Warriors for Klay on a gimpy ankle and the #2 pick. I'd rather stomach Harden in a Warriors uniform than that trash Nets package.

    LeVert makes Westbrook look like an efficient scorer and makes Harden look like the DPOY.

    Maybe he miraculously becomes a MUCH better player on both sides of the ball next year, but he still wouldn't be an All Star in the West even if that happened.

    He can definitely create his own shot. Have you even seen him play?
    He's a point guard, with the ability to get to the rim. In fact, he mainly scores near the rim by (dun dun duuuh) creating his own shot.

    Can he spend 1000s of hours practicing his outside shot? Others have developed an outside shot. I'd rather take a flyer on Simmons than a bunch of late 20s picks.

    I can imagine how empty theToyota Center is going to look after this trade.

    If the location is known, it'll get rioted.

    I doubt anyone watches much Korean television. But there was an award winning show based on a Korean baseball team last year called "Stove League."

    Seems appropos. Feels like something is terribly off.

    Well considering Kyrie is injured every year, Durant is coming off of an achilles injury, and Harden is 32. It's likely Harden may very well be the only guy healthy in some of those seasons. It's always going to be a crapshoot, but this ****ing site needs to get off of Harden. He failed 3 times, when paired with a #2, to deliver a championship as the #1. He's not going to bring a title to Houston, when you accept this, it's much easier to take what you can get and start the rebuild process.

    Why? He did what he could. It's over. The organization has to build a champion. They haven't done it since 1995.

    Ben Simmons is a 6’10 version of a young Russell Westbrook. He’s also one of the best defenders in the NBA and in a completely different tier of NBA players than Caris LeVert.

    Harden by himself will carry them to 50 plus wins a season like he did here. Don’t expect for the Nets to be under 55 wins for the foreseeable future

    Because he destroyed the best team in franchise history in a move that ultimately destroyed the franchise for many years to come.

    Not everyone is so forgiving of that.

    I wonder if Tilman knows this. Houston will not support the Rockets like the Texans. If the team is trash he will get no fans when you combine it with covid.

    I remember when I used to make fun of Ted Stepien and Donald Sterling. The Houston owner is doing his best to exceed their combined basketball mismanagement, miserliness, and lack of social awareness. It's a tough job, but I think he's up for the challenge. Excelling at awfulness is still excelling.
