    I think we have the assets to acquire both Noel and Rubio. But acquiring Noel will likely cost us a future first. I'm ok with that. In fact I'm ok with sending out Ariza, Bev, Capela, KJ, and Harrell if we could get back Rubio and Noel with Covington and Holmes thrown in.

    I'm kind of with you we would just need some serious depth.

    Count me in, just take Capela out and give them a 1st and Brewer (with a 2nd if necessary).

    Pat, 1st, KJ, 2nd for Noel, Rob and Holmes

    Ariza, Brewer, 2nd rounder for Rubio


    Could this be enough? Maybe not, but i think this should be close...

    While you believe James Harden can never lead the Rox to a championship, somehow you believe trading all your best players other than Harden in this current team to some players in the worst team of the league will actually make this team better?

    I like your logic.

    I believe James Harden can lead a team to a championship with the right supporting cast. But these guys we have now aren't it. They just went. 500 and c were replacing our starting center with a skinny 3rd year player who basically didn't play his rookie campaign.

    You have no logic if you think these guys are going to win anything. And we can't attract the Durants without getting significant upgrades. Regardless of what you think of them, Rubio/Noel are a significant upgrade to Bev/Capela.

    Is there any word on players like Norris Cole? PG with 30%+ from 3pt with some decent experience and is only 27 plus is a FA.
    Would he fit alongside Harden and in MDA's system?

    Replace DMo with Durant and look at the post below yours.

    Or

    Look at the post below yours and then talk to Durant after we've got that.
