I like this deal, ideally I'd like to get 1 - 2 more picks + pick swaps, but I'll take this deal. It benefits the Rockets, 76ers, Harden and Simmons from a pure basketball perspective, so it's really a win-win-win-win scenario. But what we've heard now indicates that this is unlikely to happens, as Harden wants to go to the Nets (I think the 76ers is a much better fit for him, and will be much stronger than a Nets who trade all their role players for Harden), and Tilman doesn't want to make deal with Morey.
Doesn't matter what they think. Morey is the guy around there now and he knows how valuable Harden is. I am sure they will be putting offers out there ESPECIALLY since Ben and Embid isn't seemingly getting along as well as they hoped. Its killing two birds with one stone.
Simmons, Thybulle, Richardson + 4 FRP + 2 pick swaps + 3 SRP If PJ wanted as well as Horford added then: 5FRP + 2 pick swaps + 3SRP PHI: Harden, Tucker HOU: Simmons, Thybulle, Richardson, Horford + 5FRP + 2 pick swaps + 3 SRP Simmons EGo/McLemore Thybulle/Nwaba Ariza/Richardson Horford Send out House in Russ trade. Get rid of all the poisonous players. Trade EGo at trade deadline after value rebuilt.
No thanks to Tobias then. Will only take back Simmons, Thybulle and maybe Richardson for Harden. No PJ. We can flip him for another FRP to another team. Morey not getting Hield then if they burned pick to get rid of Horford.
You say get rid of all the poisonous players? I am pretty sure its on record that Ariza hates Houston. Might want to ship him out too buddy.
Absolutely, but got to play him to increase value so we are not paying another team to ship him out like Portland.
Good Rafael Stone pun there. Morey would have to have some real stones to make a bad offer. We’re not going to hit rock bottom for him. On the other hand, fans shouldn’t take Rafael Stone’s acumen for granite. #nostoneleftunturned
Morey did work Curry Milton Green Thybulle Harris Korkmaz Simmons Scott Embiid That's helluva rotation. Maxey Ferguson not even in the rotation.
In various podcasts he just takes shots at Rockets front office. It's mostly in podcasts and stuff but its known he wasn't happy about how he got treated over his contract.
And Nerlens Noel has already tweeted that hes ready to go home to Philly to back up Embiid. Morey remade 76ers roster overnight.
