[Front Office Sports] Nets and Rockets have a "verbal agreement” on Harden trade

Wrong area, this is the Las Vegas Strip...Tilman is Downtown Las Vegas, as in the Golden Nugget.

 

makes total sense. Simmons should be who you want and I hope you guys get him and I think eventually he ends up in Philly. Under no circumstance is Boston putting in tatum.

 

is the verbal agreement on the 2 yard line, or will it be there by 5:45 on Tuesday?

 

Harden for Ja Morant straight up. That kid is a rising star

 

Rockets’ high price may squash hopes of James Harden-to-Nets deal

Good, I don’t want the Nets’ pu pu platter.

 

Woj: Houston wants a multi team bidding war. Young all star calibrate player with multiple picks is the starting point.


Stone needs to stay strong

 

NY media starting to realize they'll have to settle for Westbrook in NY if they want something to talk about.

 

If I’m trading Harden, I’m doing so for a cornerstone young player and picks. Ben Simmons is obviously my first choice because he can make others around him better on offense, and he’s an elite defender. If he could shoot at all, he would be untouchable like Tatum is in Boston.

Jaylen Brown is a really good young player and good enough to headline a return for a superstar along with a bunch of picks. I also view Siakam similarly. Any of the three are good enough to be key building blocks for the next great Rockets’ team. If Simmons is off the table, I’d much have rather have Brown or Siakam than the garbage Brooklyn is offering. Jamal Murray and Bam Adebayo belong in the group with Brown and Siakam, too.

You have to be realistic. There’s no way the Rockets are getting a player of equal value to someone like James Harden in a trade if they decide to embrace a rebuild. Why would Boston trade a top-15 player in Tatum, who is only 22, for a 31 year old that may leave in two seasons? If the roles were reversed, the Rockets wouldn’t part with 22-year-old Tatum for 31-year-old Harden, either. For the Rockets to find their next superstar, it will either happen by having high-lottery picks or through really good player development. Rebuilding teams with high-lottery picks aren’t interested in trading for James Harden.

 

Was the verbal agreement "Give us [Rockets] what we want and we will trade you Harden"?

Want = young star [top 20?], boat load of picks (like 3 1sts [2 unprotected], 3 2nds), and cap relief....

 

Yep as it should be. A top 5 player needs a huge return

 

It doesn't sound a good idea, I am afraid nets won't have any good picks in following years for trade like this. I thought I started to like what this front office's been doing, maybe I should wait a bit longer.

 

I hear what you're saying and if brown is the best i can do, I do everything I can to convince Harden to stay and honor his contract.

 

Morey is in Philly now. So they might be the ones missing out...

 

Possibly? Maybe they said "use your bits and pieces to get us a young star, but we don't want them"
3rd team with disgruntled/ otherwise available star anywhere? (who might trade said star for Dinwiddie and LeVert.. lol)

 

I say start the year with Harden and let the east teams start a bidding war for the trade deadline.

 

That was sad.
When we trade Otis and broke up the original championship team, Yes we got Clyde Drexler.

biggest WTF moment in Rocket history is:
Moses Malone after his MVP year
...for...
Cardwell Jones & FRP

 

[Wojnarowski] James Harden wants that trade to the Brooklyn Nets, but there have been no conversations, no contact between those teams for the last couple days. If the Rockets are going to trade him, Houston has made it clear they want an elite young player at minimum, they want multiple draft picks (streamable.com)
