[Woj] Rockets are expanding trade discussions on Harden

Three way means Brooklyn might in play. They can the assets we want via another team

 

Who gives a flying F about Harden's Xmas wish list. Quit talking about Brooklyn, Philly etc.

 

i try!

 

Lets just say we disagree.

 

I’m sure Stone can do his job

 

Im not saying Embiid isn’t athletic, I think Wood is a bit faster and littler quicker off the ground.
I could be wrong, this is just from my eyes.

 

wow a 7ft center that can dunk....how about running the floor? How about catching lobs from all over the floor? How about switching out and being able to have the footwork to guard the 1-5? How about being conditioned enough to play in an uptempo fast paced system? How about having a 2nd jump off put backs? What about his motor?

no one said embiid wasn’t more gifted as a player or that embiid is isn’t a stud or that he isn’t athletic but wood is a different type of player than embiid. One of embiid issues is conditioning- he runs out of gas fast. What’s patently absurd is your weird fascination with me. Bordering on “single white female” movie level

 

Harden and woods have all time great combo potential with the pick and roll game

 

this is my take also

 

Here comes the cavs lol

 

I’m actually hoping it’s the Raptors.

 

The problem with the mystery suitor angle is not one of them having a better return than Simmons and I think the rockets have to hold out until they know he’s 100% never on the table. Similar to the AD trade fiasco- the pelicans let the deadline pass because of the chance that the Knicks landed the number 1 pick or if Boston was putting Tatum on the table just hard to take a lesser deal until u know for sure.

guess it depends on the nature of negotiations with Philly. If it’s contentious and moreys not budging maybe they are fed up, none of us really know

 

But he's OK with a guy in Brooklyn coming off literally the same injury?

 

He was dumb enough to think that trading for Westbrook was a good idea, so who knows what dumb things Harden might think?

 

...KD at 80% is ten times better than Wall at 100%

 

I would go with the Nuggets.

 

Harden would be in the east, where it would be much easier to do his usual regular season carry job and alleviate the burden of a superior player than Wall.

 

To me legacies are irrelevant. Ignore Kawhi's past or future rings. People used to say he was a product of the Spurs system. Now he's one of the top iso scorers in the league and also a playmaker. He didn't have to do that stuff in San Antonio so people thought he couldn't. I see a very capable scorer in Brown and I think his role on the Celtics actually limits him. They're contending so they aren't interested in maximizing individual talent. Brad Stevens has said he sees just as much potential in Brown as he does in Tatum.

 

mpj higher asset than Simmons? I’d disagree. Def a lot of potential and he’s valuable but he also has injury concerns and I wouldn’t say he’s proven yet. Murray isn’t on the table
