    The story reverses abruptly?






    So, it's quite logical,…Trump lost his campaign, also means tilman failed in funding the right candidate, n then the beard feel better now as well as changing his mind to stay, hmmmmm, at least h-town warmer than Jersey.
    lol……Conspiracy theory.

    He’s under contract, I say play him and let a bidding war develop.

    Oh good. Thank god we traded one of our best players who fits with Harden to a T for what will amount to a rookie scrub. Solid GM work.

    If he is here when camp starts its going to be a three ring circus of speculation daily until he is traded.

    yup, fan base is so huge, at least the last few chances for fans to witness his branded step back shooting.

    F THIS! Tilman sells a bunch of his dying restaurants and gets the capital to really go all in. Win a championship with Harden and then go into business with him and open a bunch of Harden Landry's.

    Good. Makes no sense to trade him for a bunch of late 1st round picks and b players. Essentially no one to build around.

    If you said it was B Simmons and a bunch of draft picks, then ok but that nets offer is crap.

    Anyway there's no way Harden or Westbrook want to waste another year of their prime. Put a solid team around them and hopefully they play better in the playoffs. Still a top 4 team in the West.

    You might be right, but it’s possible that we can get a good young player with some genuine upside. I like Ro-Co, but I’m okay with it because of the two picks. One wouldn’t have been enough. The success or failure of this will depend on whether Stone is a conservative safe type of GM or a good talent evaluator and risk taker.

    They just traded Covington, a player that fits Harden and a contending team perfectly.

    Harden is gone. This team is not contending for anything.

    Either Tillman improves the Team through Free Agency or Trade in adding more Salary either Harden or Westbrook won't report to camp.

    I think Tillman needs to Sell the Team in order for Harden to feel comfortable again with new Ownership that is willing to pay 2 Super Max for Real All Stars. Russell is not a Elite Point Guard.

    They have Harden and Westbrook locked in for the next few years. Still a top 4 team with those 2 players and 3 role players. If we need to rebuild Westbrooks value and then trade him later, we should do that. There's no reason to sell low on him. I seriously doubt Harden or Westbrook will want to waste another year or two for that matter of their primes by playing poorly in the regular season.

    They likely traded for Ariza because he and Harden are friends I think.

    We traded all our draft picks anyway so there's no reason to tank.
