    I never purposely try to not be civil. It’s usually guys that take it personally when I share a differing viewpoint when it comes to Harden. He’s about to be gone anyways so it ain’t no thang to me chief.

    Murray > Simmons > Herro. I would be very happy if we got Murray from Denver. He is clutch, fearless and shows up in playoffs.

    Murray isn’t better than Harden but his nut sack appears to be. I didn’t see any of that sulking, I give up garbage when the going got tough. Y’all didn’t either, whether you want to admit it or not.

    Definitely Hardens friend. But plenty of insiders have reported that Harden was okay with not making the trade when Morey said it was unlikely to happen. Then Tillman forced everyone's hand.

    I wonder if that scout actually has any sources or if it’s just an educated guess based on recent speculation. Like many other “insiders”.

    Herro for harden!? haha what a joke. That’s the heist of the century. Fertitta is obviously a fairly successful businessman I hate to think he is dumb enough to sign off on this ****.

    I’ll take @Clutch words over any ‘insider’. Harden was the final one to veto or sign off.

    We need to be realistic we are not getting any established stars like Murray, Tatum and co who are now entering their prime. Only realistic one is Simmons. We need to be realistic

    If we can get Simmons we should be able to get the other 2 as well.

    He is looking at Russ ass. Lol


    This is exactly why I don’t believe Russ and Garden’s friendship just broke.

    it was Harden telling Russ that he wanted out and he would force himself out of Tilman and the Rockets. Morey loves Harden. And all of this noise and every rumor is part of their plan all along.

    I agree with you on that, but there’s not a deadline. As a fan I can’t support trading him for these lowball offers when he has 2 years remaining on his deal. I really think better opportunities will present themselves if Fertitta and Stone can be patient. The front office needs to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

    How did that prove Harden was the reason we got WB? Of course he signed off because they are buddies. But without Fajitas’ push, there would have been nothing to sign off.

    Murray is 23..I think most of you are blinded by the unconditional love for Harden. Murray showed more at 23 than Harden did at same age. I am saying overtime Murray will probably if not definately show that he was the better player overall..Harden will be considered a more offensive better player and one of the most influental NBA players of all time..he himself.changed the game

    Tilman suggested it originally which was preposterous to begin with. He put Morey in a precarious position and basically forced his hand by having him consult with Harden on a move he’d never make. Harden had the final say yay or nay.

    There is no deal to be done with Miami. Their best offer that works salary wise would be Herro Nunn Iggy and Olynek + picks. Almost all other players on their roster are not tradable or they’re Butler Bam and Robinson (first two off limits and one of Robinson and Herro must stay). Doubt that gets it done for Stone.

    Actually if a 3rd team was brought in to sweeten the value of the draft picks, your Miami trade might be about the best available at the current time

    I’d like to see Murray average 30-8-6 in a series while shooting 64 TS% while getting double teamed at half court...

    No way they'd trade us Murray for Harden.

    Right, I would absolutely take Murray and MPJ as a package for Harden. But neither of
    them can hold Hardens jockstrap.
    It’s just the nature of the packages offered so far.
