IF Harden is traded . . . .

Yep, the money laundering scheme goes like this: hire cheap ass people, make cheap assed food, charge a lot for everything so as to cook the books. Everything that he touches turns into trash basically. I can watch harden all day long... it’s just easy to be a harden fan if you’re a harden fan.

 

Probably not in my lifetime. I'm too old for this.

 

Good question brother.

look at history .

there was a major gap between winning a playoff series from 1997 to 2009
then 2009 to 2015

so 6 and 12 years were the major gaps between playoff series wins .
2016 was the last time we mcgradyed out in the first round.

absolutely.
the rockets need to be smart. harden still has to play ball for the rockets, he has a contract.

it's going to be anthony davis in new orleans for harden here.

 

never with stone. now with patrick

 

I have no idea how Jrue Holiday got traded for a reasonable starter, and 3 firsts and 2 swaps lol

 

Are those picks completely unprotected ?

 

it's not about when
it's about how to get rid of the f*cking fertitts from the board....

 

If trading Harden doesn't get much more than trading CP3, then the Rockets will be the laughing stock of the NBA.

 

Floor? That should be the basement.

 

These last few days may have been rough as a Rockets fan but I draw solace from the fact that Kuzma was cyber bullied into deactivating his twitter account.

 

the problem here is that it isn't allowable to trade as many picks as it would take to acquire harden lol

like maybe if the nets were allowed to give us 10 picks? but they're not. and even if they were, we would also need a young star like Simmons, Herro, etc.. and finding the combination of young talent and a stockpile of picks just isn't out there on any team in the league.

so thinking of 3 team deals, can I get all these picks from the nets?: 19th, 2021, 2023, 2025, 2027 (would require waiting until after this draft), swaps in 2022, 2024, 2026 (all unprotected?), then keep Allen he's only 22, fine. then trade dinwiddie and levert to a 3rd team for picks. maybe they're worth 2 each like roco?

so in the end could we net 12 picks?

 

Suns are at 10 seasons missing the playoffs, and just now showing promise to be a playoff team and possibly compete for the 2nd round. Tilly the new Sarvar, i think he can have that beat. 15 years without making the playoffs.
