    This fan base would do a 180 on Harden if he demanded a trade. He would be the next Pippen.

    No, but I would go Ben Simmons / Mike Scott / Shake Milton

    I can see great things from Simmons as point center for us (Rockets).


    Houston in: Ben Simmons / Mike Scott / Shake Milton / Philly FRP 2020 (#21-Mamadi Diakite)

    x

    Sixers in: Harden


    then


    Houston in: Bobby Portis / Wayne Ellington ($8 M non guaranteed) / RJ Barrett / Knicks (picks)

    x

    Knicks in: Westbrook

    Trade saves the Rockets $9 million......then waive Ellington for another $8 million in approx savings.




    Rockets new Roster

    PG) Van Vleet............Langston Galloway (sign both as FA’s with $17 M cleared by Knicks trade & Rivers exit)
    SG) RJ Barrett..........Shake Milton / Gerald Green (sign)
    SG) Tucker................Nwaba
    PF) Covington...........Mike Scott
    C) Ben Simmons.......Bobby Portis / Mamadi Diakite

    or

    PG) Van Vleet............Langston Galloway
    SG) RJ Barrett...........Shake Milton / Gerald Green
    SF) Tucker.................Nwaba
    PF) Ben Simmons......Covington / Mike Scott
    C) Bobby Portis..........Diakite

    Only non 3-pt shooter would be Point Center Simmons or Point PF

    You guys are so rational and rightfully so, but you forgot whose in charge now........Prepare your bodies for trades that “don’t make sense.”

    Simmons' jumpshot is worse than Westbrook's. Maybe if they included some unprotected first round picks and/or substitute Westbrook in place of Harden, then I would accept.

    He's 31.

    A NBA players Prime I've always considered to be 28-30. With a slow decline after 30. And a steeper decline at 35.

    Jordan Olajuwon Barkley primes 91-94
    Shaq prone 00-03
    Duncan prime 04-07
    Kobe 06-09
    LeBron 12-15

    It matches up .....

    This is another thing I'd like to point out.

    I'm terrified of being the Brooklyn Nets of the mid 2010s
    Terrible team no draft picks that could be us mid 2020s

    I know this topic shows on your phone every day, that there's a possible Harden - Simmons trade.

    But this has to stop. It ain't happening, and more importantly, it's dumb.

    What’s your solution to a team payroll at $129 million with 3 roster spots to fill.....and $125 million for 6 roster spots
    next season?

    I’m sure you have all the answers.

    Each month moving forward we aren’t lopping off fingers, we lopping off our arms and legs. Brick wall coming faster than you lead on.

    It actually isn’t. Westbrick has the worse jumpshot as a guard by far

    This is my answer to the rockets problems. If you dont see what i did there, being ready for Giannis to sign with him being recruited by Hakeem. But like i said if he dont come here you can still afford a max and another big salary to put around Simmons and RJ. As well as having draft picks, and future picks. James for 3! lol
