    Heat don’t have enough for the Rockets without including Bam so they gave up for now

    "Not pursue" = "not YET willing to meet the Rockets' asking price"

    I'm glad I'm not crazy when a package of Herro/Robinson was being thrown around as a good package for James ****ing Harden. The lack of FRPs also made it obvious.

    It's sad to me that you've apparently forgotten about the 9-year-old Swedish rapper. I'm still hoping the Notorious I.K.E.A. drops his track soon.

    Riley moved on when his demand of Christian Wood in addition to Harden for Herro and fillers was rejected by the Rockets..

    Gotta say I have mixed feelings about Miami "moving on."

    I was looking forward to the deliciously juicy irony of the Rockets playing actual "Herro Ball" after Harden leaves.

    Great news. Not interested in trading Harden for a glorified version of Chandler Parsons and Steve Novak.

    The Heat can't trade FRP because of the Stepain rule.
    They were never getting Harden.

    Riley: "We want James."
    Stone: "Ok, give us Bam, Tyler, Duncan, and 3 FRPs"
    Riley: "No, what else do you want instead?"
    Stone: "Jimmy"
    Riley: "No, what else do you want instead?"
    Stone: "Bam, Tyler, Duncan and 3 FRPs"
    Riley: "No, what else do you want instead?"
    Stone: "We're done here."
    Riley: "No, WE'RE done here!"

    Good! They have yet to offer anything of value. We can get that deal they offered anytime.

    Bummer. I’m a big Herro guy.

    Simmons or bust at this point.

    Boston and Toronto don’t interest me all that much.

    Warriors would be kinda intriguing as a rebuilding package if Wiseman and the Minnesota pick they own were on the table. I don’t believe they’re still talking to the Rockets though.

    Ben Simmons is the best thing being offered imo(that we know of).

    It means we are locked in a 3-team deal elsewhere.

    Rockets want one of Jaylen/Pascal AND MPJ, and picks would be my guess.
