Woj: Rockets want to trade Harden "sooner rather than later"

I mean if harden and the rockets take down the warriors it’s one of the greatest post season runs and upsets u see

 

I mean James knows he needs championships to challenge Jordan's title as Goat.

Durant stats wise is still better than Harden.
FG% is the best marker for this.

Durant shoots 90/50/40. When fully healthy.

 

There are always “if’s” and “buts” but had Harden been drafted by the Lakers or GS the narrative would be different... he would be considered the best player in the world...

Which is part of why Harden wants out of Houston

 

Speaking of harden, Morey needs to get stone on the phone while stone stilll wants Simmons. I’m really disappointed by his start.

 

Jokic????
Is 25. You're underestimating his value.
He's got a solid 10 years in the league and hasn't hit his peak yet.

I'd take Morant off that list for now.
Zion is too intriguing not to include.

But add Leonard who's still in his 20s admittedly 29. And that's my top 6 guys who'd attract the most value if they went on the market

 

Here’s hoping Stone DOESN’T want Simmons.

 

The Spurs team.I agree definitely.
But not the Warriors.
Think Durant has that spot on lock.

Plus how they play Curry might fit the system better. Harden hasn't been a great off the ball player. But he's also rarely had to play that role.

 

Yes, I think it would likely be Doncic, Giannis, Davis, Tatum, Zion and Morant and the kid in Utah.

 

i think Leonard is in a different tier not in terms of how good a player but in terms of age etc. yes u can add jokic also. I have Leonard in the old guard but I’d absolutely keep morant in there right now imo.

 

Man people sleeping on 25 year old Jokic

 

I know that very well.

I have made it know, early and often that trading Harden vs. reconciling with him is an abject failure of a solution.

Giving away once in a life time talent is bad for business.

I am still disgusted to this day, about the Moses and Dream trades.

Disgusted.

 

What Hakeem trade

No Rocket fan should acknowledge that trade ever happened.
Hakeem retired a Rocket.

Glad we traded Moses though. Or we probably don't get the Dream.

 

I don’t think he is in that class in the modern league. For one centers are not as important and Jokic really struggles defensively. He is one of my favorite players and one of the 5 best passing centers to ever play but he is in the wrong era.

 

Joker might be my favorite NBA player. If we added him, my gawd, we’d be so loaded with skilled, three-point-shooting bigs... Would love to see us run the offense through him. But ain’t happening. He is Mr. Denver Nugget.

 

MPJ was given more of an opportunity tonight with Murray out and dropped 30 and 10 on 12-18 shooting

he is easily the most intriguing and exciting name that’s been brought up

if I’m Denver, I’d be seeing if the Rockets would take Murray, salary filler, and picks for Harden

Harden
Harris (if not part of trade)
MPJ
Milsap
Jokic

that team is stacked

 

He aint going nowhere.

 

If Denver got Harden, they would be favourites to win the championship. Jokic with Harden is a dangerous duo.

 

I don't want anything from Boston.

I don't want anything from Phila.

I don't want anything from Miami.

Etc...

I'll keep James Harden thank you.

 

meh. Would rather just keep Harden than do a swap for Murray. And they are going to need to fix their defense at some point...Jokic/MPJ isn’t going to work on that end of the floor.

 

Not taking anything away from kwahi but he didn't beat the same team rockets lost to. Also Paul that year was def not better than Lowry. He could not even get by joe Ingles on a one on one (it's my most vivid memory of him his last year)
