Harden open to being traded to contenders

Trade EGo the snake for Aaron Gordon.

AG can be better secondary playmaker than EGo and can be another running mate for Wall and Wood.

Gives Rockets a longer more explosive physical defender vs. EGo.

And AG would upgrade Rockets starting 5, unlike EGo.

 

I doubt Ainge would do it, but Smart, Brown, Three picks, it's enough, both sides have to think about it. Those are the times deals can be made.

I could get on board for something like that.

 

And I’m willing to watch him ride the pine all season long

 

Wont happen. Their two best defenders. They would be left with kemba who has had injury issues, james and tatum. Remember they also let hayward go for nothing.

So take last years team, remove brown, smart, and hayward. You lost two all star caliber players plus smart who is their heart and soul, and add james. Unless tnere is another move on top they dont have enough. 2nd round exit IMO.

 

screw the media and every single news outlet - they were so quick to crap on Harden and the Rockets all these years and now that he wants out every news outlet is slobbering all over him. Every year Harden wasn't good enough and even when he put up historical numbers he was always discredited. It's an absolute travesty and shameful. No way the Rockets will ever get equivalent value in a Harden trade but they have to try and get the best they can get.

 

Harden with a bunch of G Leaguers - never mind Tatum, Kemba & Theis - IN THE EAST, is ECF bound.

Easy.

 

Yep and brad stevens

 

that’s what they were though. Many times over many iterations of teams.

I think they do that trade but I can also see why they might not.

 

The goal isnt ECF. And NO harden and role players isnt getting out the first round even in the east.

 

I think you completely missed the point i was making.

I'll try not be so subtle next time.

 

Harden took a bunch of G leaguers to the second seed in the 014-015 season

 

The point is youre wrong and it was a dumb thing to say. Being in the ECF means you had to beat brooklyn, Milwaukie or miami to get there. Possibly even two of the three since since harden and role players would be a bottom 4 seed

 

You poor simpleton you.

 

This isnt 2014.

You poor incel you. You think boston should take the deal because it benefits the rockets more. Any celtic fan will tell you kick rocks.

 

Yeah off course right now harden is better

 

Things just go completely over your head a lot amirite?

Wear a hat, dont want you to catch a cold.

 

I love Harden but if we have to trade, this gets it done:

Celtics Get:
G- James Harden
F- PJ Tucker

Rockets Get:

Jaylon Brown
Marcus Smart
Aaron Nesmith

If Boston trades for Harden (i personally doubt it) they would definitely try to move Kemba cause he's overrated, overpaid and a bad fit with Harden, Smart on the other hand is literally perfect, pretty much Beverley with more talent and size. If you think about it, Smart, Harden and Tatum as a trio is pretty much perfection tbh, Kemba, Harden and Tatum looks like a collection of trading cards.
