    Rather have Jamal Murray than MAGA Porter Jr.

    MPJ has the tools to be a superstar. He's athletic, can shoot, and create his own shoot. He can also play off the ball. He reminds me of Harden in OKC. Simmons is simply a athletic Chuckwagon

    I don't think I'd take Murray and Jokic for Harden, like hell nah..... Cant wait for the season to start so Harden is once again in the MVP race while all these "Potential Superstars" teams are/aren't offering keep struggling to keep their teams competitive.

    He’s soft, whiny and has a back injury history already. That superstar crap is a fantasy. Harden would put up MPJs stats in a quarter. Chuck wagon was a nice try hard player, never had Simmons’s talent

    Hell no. There’s no way Houston does that deal unless they throw in basically everything else they have...

    So a volume chucker, low %, bad shot taker who can't get out of the first round. Whose team gets out of the first round when he is hurt. Who quits on his team on the court.

    Bleh. If that is his ceiling, why bother at all?

    ......... yeah I’ll pass on MPJ and picks. He could turn into a bust also. The picks could all turn into busts. Harden is proven.
    No Murray / no trade

    The more people you engage to show you have other options, the more the only real option (Philly) sweetens the pot

    here’s how the conversation went:

    Denver: Hey Stone, we’re interested in Harden.

    Stone: Good. Good. I like MPJ. Gonna need your picks too. And probably Hampton.

    Denver: Yes yes. Of course.

    Stone: Great. I think we’ve got a deal. So Murray, MPJ, Hampton and let’s say a couple of picks for Harden.

    Denver: Wait wait! Murray isn’t available!

    Stone: Lol. Then why did you even call?


    The idea of getting Harden and not having to give up Murray is laughable. As laughable as the Sixers not including Simmons.

    I like MPJ. He’s got good potential...but that’s all he is right now. Potential. Like a lottery ticket. I’m not trading Harden for a lottery ticket and a bunch of late 1st round picks.

    Listen MPJ if he is the main part from Denver then we have to ship parts for another part.
    There has to be two parts comming back to make this trade work and I'm not saying Salary im saying points.
    If Porter Jr can avg 15 per game we still need a 20point scorer added

    Back problems rarely ever just go away, especially when you already have them at 22. There’s absolutely NO WAY I’d want Michael Porter as the main return on a trade for James Harden. Absolutely no way in hell.

    All these rumors just make some of the games more interesting for the Rockets (think Bulls vs Kukoc or Schrempf).
    Harden vs Simmons
    Harden vs Levert
    Harden vs Herro
    and now
    Harden vs MPJ

    They all about to be punished on this #HoneyBunSzn

    we already have Wall. though he isn't as good, porter can be a top forward and that's where we could use an upgrade the most and finally put PJ out to pasture.
