We should sign Marqus Blakely, he is the man we need - great defense, good shooter, energy guy, and he already were in Houston so our coaches should know how good he became since then.
Blakely has big time NBA defensive ability. The problem is he cannot shoot a basketball. I always hoped he could learn to shoot because he defense is on par with Tony Allen.
The reason I recomend to sign him - we don't need shooters, we need defensive player who can play key defensive positions in clutch time!
We need a player who can do both. If we can't obtain a 3 and D player, I would be ok with getting a perimeter defender who can come cheap.

I agree with your sentiments because I hate Harden's passiveness, his apathy, his "well, game's over, time for some strippers and drink"-ness, while watching Howard sweat blood because he wants to win. But I'm letting you take the heat for this because I know how everyone around here gets: "WHAAT? R U CRAZY?!"
I think if we could get a kyrie for Harden deal we would have to at least think about it. I would rather get Wall but Kyrie would be awesome.
Harden is better than Kyrie in just about every category (and Kyrie is already unsettled in Cleveland) so they'd have to throw in a decent amount more for me to even remotely consider it.
Parsons, Asik & 25th pick plus 1 future 1st round pick (or trade for one this year) ...for.... 2nd pick in draft (Lin & Dmo (Hinkie's boy) plus (2) second roumd picks for 76er second first rounder)
If then We'll gonna have two harden then.but hoping smart has better defense. I would rather tale shabazz napier too. Perfect fit beside harden
Atleast kyrie doesnt destroy the play by going iso and super clutch in the 4th qtr. He said he wants to be in a place that media doesnt judge what he does. Houston is the perfect place less bright lights.and im tired of harden lazy type as a player. He doesnt have heart. Kyrie is a real leader. And he's not a flopper. So here's my scenario: Trade lin +25 to kings #8 the last time i remember sac town are dying to see jeremy lin play and they're not sold on thomas as their PG so maybe they would want lin to be their PG. And then trade asiktjones or even parsons +#8 to minny for kevin love and filler. Next Trade james harden to cavs Irving +Varejao. And theb sign lance stephenson and ariza and morrow. Roster: Irving/Beverley/Canaan stephenson/TroyDaniels Ariza/Morrow/Casspi Love/Dmo/Varejao howard/Varejao
What a sad post. Kyrie Irving? For James Harden? The guy who gets injured every other night and can't even make the playoffs in the East? The crusade against James Harden continues...
