    He won't because Denver actually pays to surround Murray with threats at every position. That's what Harden is asking for. This team fills a hole by creating another glaring hole on the team every year! Except for Morey's 2017 2018 team this team hasn't ever filled every position properly. Sorry but winning a title isn't cheap. Golden State, Lakers, Miami, San Antonio... they all paid! Even the Astros paid! If Tillman really wants a title then he needs to go out there and get another Stud to play with Harden!

    This gets used a lot but would just like to say it’s very rare that if a trade doesn’t work straight up then bringing in a third team would work. Like using the Nets as an easier example, if any of those players besides Levert were worth a lottery pick in the first place, then Houston would have wanted that said player. The highest pick would be a 3rd team giving up perhaps a low lottery for Levert, but then that takes away from Houston cuz they’d want at least Levert and that lottery pick on top of it.

    Definitely not a fan of Tillman but it is literally impossible to improve this team right now even if he was willing to pay.

    The Hawks insider also said that (if i'm allowed to say it lol), i wouldn't be shocked, it always looked weird to me that suddenly Harden and Westbrook hated each other.

    Well time to showcase ego house and everyone on this team. I think there are certainly reasons why brown is not playing right now. He's probably a keeper. The rest we know what they are.

    omg, this needs to stop

    Murray will win a MVP, make multiple 1st Team All-NBA’s, and be a top 5 player for the better part of a decade? Murray will be able to guarantee a playoff appearance in the West no matter who’s around him as the guy? He would have to do all that just to be able to hold Harden’s jockstrap...

    Is BraBra more Cybersex or Burt Steele .... or just another Jopat/Hollic delusional nut?

    Haven’t followed him much. My fav was always my man Codman because of the 80’s nu wave throw ins. It sure as heck wasn’t because of prediction accuracy though.

    Harden and Russ both devised an exit strategy together

    good points, I just don’t think the Herro is enough without mid first draft picks instead of the late round picks the Heat would provide. I’d would be much wiser to wait until the trade deadline or next offseason.

    No Murray, no deal. You've got to give at least your second best player for Harden.

    Harden has been the best 2guard in the NBA since he took the title from DWade years ago

    Murray isn't even the best current Denver Nugget
    And until last season, there were real questions if he was even good enough to be a #2 on a real contender

    he's been money this year on alot of stuff dating back to the trade deadline where he outscooped Shams and Woj on every trade major or minor.

    He also said we were close to trading for Wood last season and even before the media said anything about us being in the running for Wood he mentioned Houston was basically a done deal.

    I honestly don't know where and how he gets his info tho cuz he is just a 20 year old kid from the UK lol

    Harden for Nurkic, CJ, Little and picks is good. Dame, Harden and Covington is lethal but our team would be crazy deep.

    Wall
    CJ
    House
    Wood
    Nurkic

    Gordon/Clemons
    McLemore/Nwaba
    Little/Green
    Tucker/Martin Jr.
    Cousins

    It’s proof that one good performance on a playoff stage makes everyone forget how inconsistent you were before that. More people probably remember JR Smith for his hot shooting Finals appearances with the Cavs than an entire career of boneheaded plays.

    Ironically Harden has been exactly the opposite - has been one of the best, most consistent players for a solid decade but because he has played poorly in most of his most watched games, everyone thinks for some absurd reason that Murray is some sort of upgrade. The fact is Murray wasn’t even better than Gary Harris up until fairly recently.

    He might just be a really smart kid who's good at predictions, and for whatever reason focused on the Rockets. Nonetheless, it has made the offseason more interesting.
