    I don't think they have anywhere with jet skis. It's also winter there.

    Seems like Meek Mill is just insinuating that Harden is forcing his way to Philly.

    Honestly I'm fine with that. If it means Ben Simmons and picks I'll overall be content. We get a young dude who will be good for the next decade and have John Wall.

    Why is he “open” to...? We have all the leverage to trade him to wherever we get the best return, he has no right to demand where he gets sent. We brought in superstars and rosters built around him to win, we did our part.

    This is such a bad look along with the mask less clubbing and no show. He’s just burning 8 years of good will down to the ground. You hate to see it.

    Simmons at least buys the team enough to time to not give away top draft picks to the Thunder.

    John Wall and Simmons share an agent.

    That agent is the biggest power broker in the NBA.

    Make them happy here and create a landing spot for Rich Paul and Klutch clients.

    Instead of Simmons why not go for Embiid? Smaller contract. Plug him in at the 5. Boogie at 4(when healthy) Woods at the 3 with Wall and EGo.

    Watching Harden and Simmons fight for the ball would be funny since Simmons would be useless without the ball.

    Well don't forget the team we are potentially trading with has a genius running the team in Morey and won't let that happen. Embid is off the table. He compliments Harden far better and Morey ain't an idiot.

    Simmons and Wall don't seem compatible, but I could be wrong.. Would hate to have to trade John Wall, I wanna see what he's got..

    Only because of a short playoff sample size.

    Which, granted, is the reason i want to do it, lol.

    But in the regular season, Murray gave you 18 and 5. Not exactly lights outs relative to Harden.

    I'd add picks if needed, though. MPJ can be great, Murray imo will continue his playoff level of play.

    Murray / Wall
    Harris / BMac
    MPJ / House
    Wood / Tucker
    Cousins
    Others

    solid team

    Hahaha you rocket fans are the most delusional SOBS there are . Wall is not even in the same conversation as Westbrook to begin with and cousins would make a solid bench guy MAYBE on a good team . This rockets team won’t even make playoffs .

    Tillman was trying to keep his star happy. The problem was his star has never fully matured as a team leader. Sad to see Harden be so close before CP3 busted his hammy.

    It just depends on how much Wall has improved his 3 ball. He says he's been working on it primarily for over a year now. If he can knock them down, they might fit pretty well

    I’m honestly wondering if any ‘contender’ will want him at this point. And I mean by giving us the right price. Obviously any team would want him but at what cost?

    Based on his talent alone, yes. All of them would. He's a complete moron, and he's nowhere near a leader, but he's one of the most talented players in NBA history.

    I don't care where harden is willing to play, by the way. If he wants out, he'll be out. He can't pick where.
