Bill Simmons: “In the whisper circles, everybody seems to think he’s going back to Houston.”

If Harden comes on a max, you’d have $18-30M left over in space (depending on other moves) and then a $6M room exception to work with.

You could get probably 1-2 of Cam Johnson, Grant Williams, Bogdanovic, Josh Hart, Bruce Brown, Divincenzo etc.

Then a couple vet min end of the bench guys.

The real question is if you can get guys to choose Houston without wildly overpaying. Not sure how good this front office is at all the relationship stuff and agent stuff that goes into that.

 

Overpaying for Cam Johnson is the play. Anything to make the nets worse and our picks better.

 

My facts are correct. I believe it’s you that needs the fact check. How did he only play 3 seasons with KD can we he played 3 of them in OKC with them and then again in Brooklyn until he bailed. The rest is just your opinion.

 

I have yet to hear a good realistic plan that doesn't involve going after Harden.

That remains the best option, no matter your feelings about his style of play or his ceiling.

 

Signing a 34 year old to a multi year max deal is a terrible idea that sets the franchise back even further. Thing is you Harden fanbois think he’s 34 yo LeBron or KD. He’s not. He’s in no position to lead a team full of 20 year olds.

 

Yup, just as I thought.

Has no other alternative to offer up.

 

Wrong again! KPJ is staying, Green is staying, but don't be surprised if Alpi is gone and C Wood return.

 

Cam Johnson & Jordan Clarkson off the bench for 2-3 years while our starters develop. I would slightly over pay for that.

 

100% agree! I would keep the team as is and go hard after Makel Bridges in FA. Get a legitimate Center and draft the BPA

 

If Harden comes, Sengun will be moved. Jokic is the answer but I doubt it will happen. I think it will be C Wood, if Harden comes back

 

It’s not even summer yet lol. Of course you like my ideas though considering you jacked my AV style.

 

Will Dantoni also come back?

 

Scoot Henderson would be starting.

 

Ball hog Jimmy with 19 assist 1 turnover so far tonight

 

What ideas? You have shown none.

And my guy, this was made when we made the Paul trade. Obviously before Harden was ever even in a Philly jersey. It would appear, it is in fact, you, who is jacking styles.

 

James Harden's career just keep going down after leaving Rockets. I get why he wants to back Rockets. His best times in here.

 

Yes, it is very possible this is where we are at. Let’s hope not, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

 

Even with Harden? That’s what I was referring to. I know Henderson is starting if Harden isn’t on the team
