    Then yeah let’s get it done before the season then.

    Going to be awkward for players to sit out and awkward for heat who play on Christmas Day.

    @J.R.

    Looks like Murray is getting anxious too.

    I have a feeling that we'll all be disappointed when the trade is announced. :(

    I won’t.
    At this point i just want it to be over with so i can look forward to what we have, not thinking about what could be. I hate uncertainty.

    Apparently the Nets have found an unnamed third now looking to get it done pronto according hoop central. Looks like they are making their move

    Yeah they’re destined to blow this whole thing. No way in hell they even get a quarter of the value of him as a player.

    Unless you get AD, Lebron, KD or Kawhi back you are not getting equal value back

    Sure, but that doesn't mean u give him up for these two options. Both aren't feasible if owner is truly serious about competing for the ring now.

    I’ve been saying for the longest time we need to give this team atleast 30 teams for Harden to rebuild his value on the court with C Wood and company.

    bball ref’s projection for Harden this upcoming season is 33, 6, and 7 on 44/36/87 shooting splits to go along with 2 steals and a block a game...that statline is ridiculous, but for Harden it is easily doable and generates nothing more than a shoulder shrug as a reaction from me

    that is what we are trading away

    I'll give them Eric Gordon and the 24th pick. He is still 21 and can take over the 6th man role.

    I can live with that. It all depends on how EGO performs in the Olympics.

    Herro is just another average role player. There's a decent chance you get that at 24. I think we should be packaging our bottom 2 picks to move up anyway.

    Hell, the league MVP was a 2nd rounder.

    It is extremely difficult to find an average NBA player that will stick for 10+ years in the NBA at 24. I would say you have a roughly 1/3 chance of finding someone that can be a rotation player.

    I consider that a decent chance.

    Some of those players are much better than Herro as well. I think the smaller chance of getting a much better player is worth it at our stage in the rebuild (the beginning). Trading #24 for Herro is like trading #2 for Simmons. Sure he's an all star but why give up the chance to have better at this stage.
