    You know, none of that was his fault. You know if Russ wasnt Russ or if TIllman would have not been trash, we could be champions right now. Im not saying no the trade for Simmons. Im saying no the idea of contending for a very long time. And this Ownership will keep tanking this franchise into the ground.

    history agrees with you.

    Odds are we don’t win a championship with Harden unless he has a big change of heart and signs the max extension tonight. It actually couldn’t even been done yet, which is the funniest thing. They’ve been asking him to commit since early October. He couldn’t even sign anything yet.

    Hopefully his IG cap indicates he signs the dotted line tonight. Agree to Trade him next year with 4 years max on the deal if it doesn’t work out or keep him long term. Otherwise trade him now and move on. If it’s a disaster? At least we don’t have expectations.

    I don't think he will come here because of the uncertainty in Houston.

    he replied to the story he wouldn’t sign a max extension as cap, which indicates it’s not true.

    I don’t know how it was a story yet. Contract extensions can’t be signed until tonight . I say he either is extended or we trade him. Extending him ends trade talks because he’s ineligible for one year. It also doesn’t prevent a trade next year if it doesn’t work out and Harden secures the most money.

    Wood and Thon Maker have a lot of similarities to their games. Thon may be a little better switch defender.

    I think Horford's switchiness is underrated, he's got very good lateral agility.

    lmao @ anybody who really thought quality FA's were lining up to sign with this dumpster fire of a franchise. We'll see what happens, but let's be honest. Nobody should have their hopes up.

    Myles Turner makes more sense to Boston with a Hayward trade. I’d happily take either Wood or Turner though. Just 2 more hours to wait.

    this could even possibly turn into something bigger with Harden and Gordon to Boston, Hayward to Indiana , Turner and Brown to Houston.


    I would be surprised if Turner doesn’t end up a Celtic though tbh.

    They are over the cap, can lower their salaries but not create cap space.

    Enough negativity in the world to fill a trillion galaxies. If it doesn’t come to fruition? Whatever. Doesn’t hurt to provide a light in darkness.

    in the end this is just a game. Tilman deserves whatever people want to say about him. If it gets as bad as most think? I enjoy movies, music, video games and reading. I have plenty of other distractions. It’s sad to envision what a lot think is to come, I’m not quite ready to give up.

    Sure at the full exception; under the cap? Maybe barely, but definitely not operating under the cap.

    What I mean is that the tweet seems to suggest that they are trying to create more space to offer more money to Wood, but that's not accurate.

    The TE generated for Kanter, that's another thing, yet is small ($4.767M).

    He used to be very good laterally.
