John Granato: Raptors & Celtics favorites to land James Harden

It helps us in the end

 

No it’s not, just obviously there’s picks involved..

 

Can we flip Lowry to the Knicks for first round picks? Or maybe even Barret?

 

IT HAS TO BE TORONTO!!!!!!

TOR - Siakam / OG /ANOTHER PLAYER AND PICKS!!!

Siakam IS A BIG TIME PLAYER!! HE IS A TOP 20 PLAYER....2ND TEAM ALL NBA
HE IS A CHAMPION!!! WE WAS PART OF A TORONTO CHAMPIONSHIP...A VERY IMPORTANT PART.
OG WOULD PLAY SMALL FORWARD AND IS A PLUS DEFENDER. HE LET ONE ALL STAR OR ALL NBA PLAYER LEAVE AND WE RECIEVE ANOTHER ALL STAR OR NBA PLAYER AND OG FROM TORONTO....6'8 232 POUNDS...HE IS A EXCELLENT DEFENDER AND HE HAS BEEN PART OF A CHAMPIONSHIP. THE FRONTCOURT OF Siakam / OG / Wood would be DOMINANT...RIVAL ONLY TO THE LAKERS....AND WE HAVE A TALENTED 5 TIME ALLSTAR WALL AND 4 TIME ALLSTAR BOOGIE....SOON TO BE A ALL STAR WOOD!!!

PULL THE TRIGGER IF PHILADELPHIA DOES NOT WORK....TOR - Siakam AND OG IS THE REAL DEAL

 

Yes, but highly unlikely I think at the point. I Harden wants to be gone sooner rather then later to get started with his new team and Stone seems to be genuinely trying to accommodate that. Also trying to end the uncertainty hovering over the team.

I think he ends up in either in Mia or Denver. If it’s Miami it’ll be probably be done after december 25

 

lol that's a good one. Bonus points for having Lowry come off the bench. Have you ever thought about doing stand up?

I mean I get it, Fred is already starting next to Lowry, its just Kyle is just such a usage monster. If only Harden were there so that the keys could finally be handed to Fred. LOL.

Not that its even worth entertaining because its still a horrendous trade but I'm pretty sure the Rockets could just ask for Vanvleet instead of Lowry for James Harden wouldn't you think?

 

Ok CHAMPBOY, I have a hard time understanding why you turned off the CAP for players name but ok.

 

strip clubs are closed in Toronto right now..Harden ain't gonna like that..

 

Didn’t know spicy p went to high school in Lewisville here in Texas

 

I can see clearly now....

.......

Toronto or Miami for me

 

You don't trade James Harden for an old backup PG, a role player, and a couple late draft picks. That something the Knicks would do

 

There based in Tampa this season

 

Yeah I’d take FVV but I don’t see them parting with two young guys for Harden, since he doesn’t want to be there. They’ve learned their lesson with Kawhi.

 

Agreed and I like Herro

 

Check out Pascal’s last playoffs before you get super excited. He is extremely limited.

We need offensive talent coming back in a Harden trade. Pascal ain’t it.

@J.R.

I have my eyes on PJ and whether he signs an extension.

Do we know the exact time of the extension deadline?

This applies to extend and trades, which PJ may want (only would allow 2 more years at about $8M per season, whereas here he could get about $10M per season in a straight extension.)

 

I still hate the idea of trading Harden, but Jaylen Brown is the only name I’ve heard so far that I could almost live with. Brown is the real deal. He’s young, he’s got a complete skill set, and I’d be interested to see what he can do on his own team, out from Tatum’s shadow.

Selfishly, living in Boston, the Celtics are my “second team” so I could still root for Harden if he were traded to the Celtics (as long as they weren’t playing the Rockets, of course)

 

To Me it's like this
It's a win win situation, either that or the miami deal if nuggets decide to pull out
