    Seems Nets gives the minimum assets can get Harden, but it is win win situation for Nets and Houston. There is no hope even remaining Harden. GM did a great job to prevent dropping value of Harden.

    Houston needs to sign a new sf and pf starters
    maybe need to reemploy of JVG now

    Brown>CJ>Sikam>Olidapo>Simmons>Harrow

    If that’s your end all standard then you probably won’t see another closer chance in your lifetime. So enjoy

    He was also a player that Morey liked and tried to trade for on several occasions.

    Tilman is gutting this team, get used to losing.

    And losing badly.

    20+ point losses will be the norm.

    Same. We're begging for a 6'10 rebounder and rim protector. They don't grow on trees. And then we get teased for cap space. The rebuild begins.

    Lulz you don't wanna pay Allen Capela money gimme a break.

    Let's not pretend LTS wasn't part of the goal but at the same time it didn't make sense to get poor man's Capela back on the team.

    he’s been an all-star, and best player on a playoff team. Having a pretty good 2021 campaign so far. The injury doesn’t really bother me, as we’ve now seen both Wall and Nwaba have excellent recoveries from Leg/foot issues.

    Yeah who can shoot and is cheap. Allen is expiring and is looking for Capela money. Hard pass, you realize Hartenstein is only making 1M on the Nuggets?

    If I learned anything over the past few seasons it’s that things change quickly and any contract can be dealt. A lot of basketball to be played between now and the deadline. Who knows what markets might emerge for him and Wall.

    The point isn’t to make the playoffs - the point is to be able to win a Championship - He never did so good riddance was fun while it lasted.

    As a drag racer yes, winning is the only thing that matters end of day... same in NBA or these super teams wouldn’t be being formed

    umm the point is you have to make the playoffs first. You act like you can skip steps. Something the rockets won't be doing for a very long time. But apparently that's the same as what harden has done for the last 8 years, according to your logic. Which obviously makes 0 sense

    8 years of averaging 50+ wins and playoff runs is the same as not making the playoffs and losing seasons for years to come. Bc you didn't win a ship. Great logic there

    Rodions is a 22 yr old 6'9 forward who shot 36% from 3 last season. Given that Allen wants to be paid big money RK's a better asset than Allen.

    Don't sleep on that dude I bet he'll perform really well on this team.

    I would be furious if I were a Rockets fan.

    Jarrett Allen is really good and a great fit next to Christian Wood. You'd have a stud front court going forward.

    Also dont get the Levert for Oladipo swap. They're similar level players but Oladipo is gonna bounce in free agency or want to get paid big. Levert is signed to a reasonable deal for two more years.

    The only reasonable conclusion I can reach is that the owner sucks.

    LeVert has more trade value than Oladipo.

    Kevin Porter Jr., Victor Oladipo, 1st Round Pick for Caris Levert, Jarrett Allen.

    Caris Levert has another year $28

    Jarrett Allen wants the Max $90 Million

    Cavs Gifting the Rockets Kevin Porter Jr. Is huge because Kevin Porter Jr. can turn this Organization Around.
