    This doesn’t improve upon his chances with his current team. Do you think the Harden Kings win more games this year then the Harden Rockets?

    Well if he still wants out, then Stone has every right to send him where he deems fit. Harden doesn’t have trade clause.

    How are the Rockets going to work with Wood, Cousins, and Allen?

    That’s my point. Up till now we’re trading him to teams with a chance at the Finals. He won’t sniff that with the Kings. So what’s changed?

    Because he’ll drags them to the playoffs himself. Something they couldn’t achieve for like a decade!

    Yeah i don't know how the Kings could be an option here, they could offer an interesting package if they would give up pretty much every rookie scale contract they have and multiple picks, but Harden isn't winning **** with Fox and Whiteside, and would 100% bolt in two years leaving the Kings without pants.

    The kings will competitively good and harden will average humongous numbers( will give them huge draw card when the crowds return next season) . They will probably be in the playoffs and with a trade or two they could be good,

    It’s not like with the players or assets they will send here we’re going to turn them into a contender in the near future or ever to be honest. Harden is a once in a generation talent in his prime

    Is this guy legit? I knew Morey would not be able to resist his one true love.

    Yeah they might make the palyoffs i guess, but let's be real, they would be a 1st round exit by default. And the only way for them to get Harden is to literally trade the farm right? If that's true, what the point for them? I mean, i know we're talking about the Kings, but isn't McNair there now? They gotta be smarter then they were before.

    It’s better then status quo of being irrelevant and staying irrelevant forever. Harden gives them a legit franchise cornerstone for a couple of years and the chance to be good

    Sure, but would you do it if you're the Kings? I know i wouldn't because it sounds like a suicide to me.

    Would love to see Harden in Sacramento. Grass isn't always greener

    You guys are starting to lose it with what you think we should get for harden. Let's just hold on to him then for the year, have another tough loss in the playoffs where he doesn't rise to the occasion

    Please stop with speculation about trades with non contenders because of their assets.

    Their front offices are unlikely to all be morons, hence they will know that Harden is unlikely to report to a non-contender (or report, cause friction and demand a trade on arrival)
