    Just heard that on twitter too...

    I'm all for it as long as we can keep Jalen, Jabari and our top 7 pick. Everything else is on the table.

    Starting lineup next year: Harden-Green-Brown-Smith Jr- Wembanyama

    That sounds pretty good…

    Probably not a lot, but with this being Boston-related, there might be a teeny tiny chance it's true. Pairing Harden and Brown with Green and Bari would be phenomenal.

    Simmons doesn't know ****

    He casually said Houston in the background as a guess

    Funny Nick wrong mentioned the harden drumbeat to Houston is getting louder. Harden, Brown and Green trio with Wemby and Jabari has a top 2 or three seed in the West written all over it

    I love that switchable talent. A lot depends on if Jalen can commit to defensive intensity. I’m not gonna lie that I’m concerned about a Harden/Jalen backcourt. I’d rather a Harden/Brown backcourt. But Brown has the size to play the 3. Not sure what we’d have to give up, but I’d give up Jalen before I’d give up Sengun.

    Harden/Brown/Tari (Shooting 36% from 3)/Jabari/Sengun

    draft pick is Cherry on top

    listen…hire Ime, draft Wemby, trade Sengun and the BK picks plus whatever else not named Jalen, Jabari, and hopefully Tari, sign Harden, and then profit

    Harden
    Green
    Brown
    Bari
    Wemby

    coach Ime

    With the Cameron Johnson chatter, I wonder if it would be possible to get Harden, Brown and Johnson this summer? That would be a killer rotation depending on who we lost in a Brown deal.

    I can’t see how the Rockets can fit all three together unless we can manage a sign and trade for one of Cam or Jaylen

    Rockets could legit make the WCF next season with how weak the West is now if Wemby is the truth

    I honestly see us wining the west. Durant is too injury prone and Paul is on his last leg. Denver just isn’t a playoffs team and Golden state is getting older and Green might be gone. Memphis might be the only real challenger. If green can take the next step with Harden and Brown it’s a damn good roster


    Key is getting a good coach
