    I can see them willing to trade Capela or Collins now after drafting Okongwu

    With Philly moving on with Simmons it’s obvious Harden is eventually Boston bound since the Nets offer was putrid

    I don't see this happening. Why wouldn't we ask for Brown? Sounds like a great trade for GS, but not us. Wiseman as the centerpiece for a Harden trade. Yikes. We should be asking for Brown. There would have to be much more to this trade that the Rockets and even Boston receives.

    I think Phili is still in it. The players they have acquired fit perfectly with James and I believe they have even more cap space now. Simmons is still the best player the Tilmans will receive in a trade and I don’t think it’s very close.

    I do not agree. Harden still has two years and a PO left on is contract. There is no need to pull the trigger now. Teams are just trying to low-ball us because of the dysfunction and Tilman factor.

    Yes but you don’t want a Harden that is pouting. He already has times during games he loses it and starts pouting goes into his shell so imagine him being unhappy period. That will drive his value even less .


    Best hope is for Stone to go to James and say bro, please make my life easier and expand you’re trade list so we can atleast get 80 cents on the dollar

    Why are we giving credence to what some guy on a hawks message board writes? More alarming is, why are there so little chatter and clamor for Harden from around the league especially in regards to offers and interest.

    Amigo, I agree, but not for Hayward. A straight deal of Collins for Hayward would do little for their playoff aspirations, IMO. Now if Okongwu is ready to play heavy minutes and be a meaningful contributor than I see Capela deals as an avenue to improving in the the present. Still he has yet to play a game for the Hawks, and can be a great P&R player along side Young. I would think they would first see if Capela can have a positive impact. I don't know anything about Okongwu, so I cannot say if he is ready to play heavy minutes or not, but if he is not than it makes no sense as they want to make the playoffs. Do you think a swap of Hayward for Capela or Collins is a good idea for the Hawks. I just do not see it.

    Woj said he thinks 6ers are not trading Simmons this offseason. They want to see how they go under Doc

    This may not be the most professional or ideal response, but F that. I am so tired of this players' league bs. You signed a contract, so deal with it. Like I said before, people like me who are in the military or who were don't complain when we have LITERALLY no say in where we go. There are no parallels to the two factions, but it just pisses me off. I think his value will stay relatively consistent no matter how much b****ing and whining he does. We need to take our time to find the right trade. Usually a superstar with two years left on his contract would have max value, but that has not been the case with harden because teams know how Harden feels, and the prerogatives of this **** owner. I agree he should expand his list, but that will come with time, so we need to be patients. Tiliman is not trading Harden unless he get a house-hold name that casual fans will want to go and see play.

    **** I forgot all about Cod I hope he’s doing well. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him post.

    He posted recently. I just cannot remember in what thread. I am sure you can check his profile and see his latest activity

    Pretty much confirmed there is zero chance of Harden wanting to work things out and he is mad over how things went so bad with Mike and Morey
