    Bruh 7 years worth of firsts are we even getting players of value back? Im sorry but its hard to reject 7 years worth of firsts. The last 4 will be lottery picks

    Agreed, the picks from the Nets will be very valuable eventually. Flipping the salary matching players like expiring Dinwiddie, Allen, Lavert can net us more assets as well.

    My hope is that whatever deal the Rockets take, they find a way to get EG the hell out of here as well. I know it's a huge ask since that's $56M in salary the Rockets would be sending out.

    The Harden era had it's up's and downs.

    Time to push forward.

    I’d trade him to Atlanta for reddish, hunter, and 3 first rounders

    In the end superstars get what they want....

    ...I couldn’t be a GM (too petty) I’d send him somewhere he doesn’t want to be where he had no chance at a chip. But he’ll go to his top two choices

    Thinking it’s Brooklyn and a third team.

    IF EG would start shooting threes behind the line instead of ten ft behind the line he would be valuable again. Somewhere though, someone gave him the green light from 30ft and he never let it go.

    Harden gets what he wants in the end, as predicted.

    Great job, Adam Silver.

    I have been focused on Atlanta too. My thought is sending Simmons there as a bridge between Young and Collins. Rockets send James to Philly for Simmons+ (Thybulle & Maxey is my choice coming back to Hou). Rockets then send Simmons to ATL for Hunter, Huerter, Reddish and filler. That jumpstarts the rebuild with 5 players under 24 who should get burn on a good team (plus Wood & Tate). Of course the Rockets still have to tank this season because they would NEED to get a top pick to select a new franchise player but theyd have the supporting cast in place.
