    This is a good point, although i doubt the Raptors would trade many picks in a similar deal, that would be way too risky for them, like, literally dumb considering what they would've left on the roster.

    Once Harden Leaves 2023 onwards are Lottery Bound years for the Raptors.

    Strategy wise it's a Great Move for the Rockets.
    To get Lottery Picks in the Future to get a Star Player thru the Draft.

    This is why fans aren't GMs. Remove the homer glasses.

    Toronto's and Boston's strip joints not top notch.

    Send him over there.

    My guess is this is the rockets leaking to local media possible deals to increase the leverage against Morey and whoever else they are currently negotiating or will be negotiating with. This helps you create a bidding war even if the info isn't all factual. Stone and the front office are doing their due diligence IMO.

    I seriously doubt there is a real offer from Ainge or that he is going to pull the trigger, especially when every BOS media says otherwise. instead Ainge will for the hundreth time reveal how he almost made a deal after the fact.

    As for Toronto. Like others I don't see why they would want to trade siakam, og (their two best young player) for 2 years of Harden and a team that might be a 1st or second round exit team.

    Not sure, but knowing that Harden would have to clear customs on those off day trips to Vegas makes me giggle.

    This, plus another player. Maybe their rookie or someone like Norman Powell.


    No need to keep posting it, though. You're selling us short.

    some of y’all are gonna be real disappointed by what we get back

    Herro + Bam? Tatum? Simmons + 3 picks? Murray + MPJ? It’s simply not happening.

    Toronto will always be Toronto.

    A place that can't hold its superstars for long.

    They have Lowry and Van Fleet. No way they trade for Walker.

    people are talking like Siakam is the truth

    he will keep us as a mid-bottom tier playoff team I guess

    Don’t get it. These are not his preferred destinations. He was pretty specific. If he doesn’t want to stay in Houston and doesn’t think we will win what makes these teams think he wants to play for them? Doesn’t make sense to me unless his list expanded even more.

    I don't think you can be disappointed in Siakam and OG, though I like Brown on an individual basis.

    Always thought he was closer to 6'7 in the old measurement days.

    The GARM will be in melt down mode the day it is announced.

    Walker makes more sense to NY or Orlando, maybe Indiana or other teams i'm missing now...Boston might get back Aaron Gordon and a pick from the Magic, picks/young players from NY, Turner/Oladipo + pick/s from Indiana....i think there's potential there even in a three team deal.

    Boston with Harden with Tatum would be lethal
