I mean cmon this is getting ridiculous. Hes gonna end up going to brooklyn for levert and a bag of rocks
Someone on the Twitter just suggested: Simmons, Thybulle, Maxey and two FRPs for Harden and PJ. If we're looking at a possible rebuild, we could do worse.
Let’s get crazy and flip one of the 3 1st and either POR/DET 1st with Gordon for Zach Lavine. New Big 3: Simmons, Lavine and Woods. All 25 or younger.
There is nothing to underestimate. He’s rated where he should be, and in a few years his contemporaries like Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray will lap him. **** they already have. You can’t build around players who cant shoot, have no post game, and have no interest in evolving. I hope the rockets flip him before he gets exposed and tanks his trade value if they get him.
Im tired of "the fit not being good". Didnt work with Dwight, CP3, Russ and now Wall? smh come on James
About time the rockets leaked something like this. It did nothing for the rockets leverage or hardens value when the message that Morey kept putting out there was - sixers not willing to trade Simmons for Harden. In fact it could've been destructive, since if even Morey wasn't willing to trade much for harden, why should we (MIA/DEN) etc.
No Ben Simmons. Absolutely no! Not next to John wall. The only way a trade should happen with the 76ers is having a third team involved and sending Ben there and the rockets receiving something from that 3rd team. also I take a punt and keep James. Wins will cure everything, and he is too good of a player to throw games at this stage of his career.
I don’t think this is a Rockets leak. Shams would be hurting his professionalism and future ability to break stories if he just threw shut out there that wasn’t from the right source. I’m not in love with Simmons anymore. @YOLO and others here and elsewhere have convinced me. The inability to shoot, not just threes, but anywhere outside 3 feet from the rim, including free throws, is SUCH a liability. tough to even have him in at the end of games. if there was just some sign that he could one day be a shooter. But there isn’t. Not this far into his career. my strong preference is to wait it out. Some star elsewhere will become disgruntled. one offseason ago they could have traded him for AD and kept CP3 for example.
I don't think we should put all the offers out there, but I actually do kind of like this in this very specific instance. Even if the Rockets (or maybe it's an eastern conference rival) are lying it's good that it makes Morey have to squirm and sabotage his relationship with Simmons. Timing is also better to put pressure on Morey if the offers really are getting better from Miami, Toronto, etc. with Giannis locked up now.
Morley created this mess in Htown doubt he wants to bring in Harden in Philadelphia and create another mess of things
