    I stopped reading after Zach Lavine was brought up as an option.

    Oh brother.

    It's like OP thinks Rockets have forgotten EVERYTHING about analytics as soon as Morey walked out the door or something.

    To be fair, I'd definitely take lavine over simmons/harden etc if this was the AnD 1 tour.

    Lot of concentrating on his lack of shooting but not a lot on the pros. Comparison to Westbrook is terrible as Simmons is not a chucker and is an elite defender, something WB certainly isn't.

    Yeah Tatum was pretty decent in Coach Carter. I'd consider moving for Adam Levine as well if the Bulls could add some picks to the package.

    Just because he’s the best player available doesn’t mean we are obligated to take the deal, and we shouldn’t.

    Also, if Harden was really the second coming of Jordan like everyone around here says, you still think Tatum would be untouchable? I think not.

    If they do end up with Simmons we need alot of 1sts rds and pick swaps.

    Better not to trade with Sixers. He is worse than Gordon and caplea. Dont fall in Morey tricks. How about trade with Bucks tp get Middleton and Miaimi to get butler or even warriors. Dinwiddie must > Simmons

    Best thing about Simmons?
    Plays every postion. A+++DEF
    Rebounds elite Passer fast playmaker.
    This is what we need.
    If we play him at the G spot players like Curry and Harden become less likely to succeed.
    If you could add in A Gordon OMG this team would be all def and just needs to score
