    You would take non-shooting Simmons over Irving??? Stop.

    i believe it is all smoke and mirrors to try and get Ben Simmons.

    Hey, Philly, the Nets are offering Kyrie+... what oy got.

    True, and he is completely useless after the injury. When RW looks like a mature player in comparison, then it's a massive red flag.

    If they make the switch and Durant gets hurt, they are really screwed. Because Hardhead can't lead a team down a one way street.

    Maybe they should ask for a pick also.

    No chance Irving comes here, but would be funny if he's included in a 3-team trade and Irving one year with the Nets was without his buddy Durant who now gets to play with his other buddy.

    Do not want, send to 3rd team for picks.

    Total disaster scenario.

    On the other hand watching Irving and Russ try to get along and share would be worth some serious comic relief if they weren't doing it on my team.

    Great idea for the Nets but why would we want that malcontent? In a way it's strange how Durant, Irving and Harden are all flakes with weirdo attitudes.

    No thanks to Kyrie. Even Ariza's expiring contract is more valuable than him and a pick right now.

    Is that article not just an opinion piece? I don’t really care about opinion articles

    I don’t want Kyrie anyways...hell no...he would have to be routed to another team

    The only way for this to happen is not to trade Harden now and wait until Durant and Kyrie hate each other by February and Kyrie wants out.
    Let them selfimplode.

    If Houston gets Irving, I think I'll have to take a break from the NBA. Don't get me wrong, it's Houston or no NBA for me and I'm not abandoning the team/forum or something silly, or burning gear or whatever other crazy stuff has been done .. I just will be more disappointed that it's going to prolong a real rebuild. Harden definitely deserves a chip but if/when he leaves - Houston needs to rebuild. I do think new team ownership has wrecked things faster than even I thought was possible.

    I also don't think they should rush deals to move things, but I also look back at Les as the owner and..... Yeah.... Other than the Texans franchise I don't think I've seen something fall apart so fast.

    This would be like Les getting the team and somehow messing up the rebuilt relationship with Hakeem (I didn't like the Toronto ending, but it's looking a hell of a lot better than this current dumpster fire)

    Of course and it's not even close.

    5 Years of contract.

    4 years younger.

    Actually good.

    You're quoting a guy who liked Morris over Kawhi and thought Morris was a superstar. His takes are typically the opposite of what's in reality.

    if harden to bkn is happening , id rather have the platter of 4 players than take my chances with kyrei. I really like dinwiddie , levert , and allen. Sure they arent top flight guys , but the chances of us getting equal value back for james are zilch .
