Rockets goal is to make it work with Westbrook and Harden

Yes, he has to build up his trade value enough to be traded.

 

I’ve blamed Tilman a lot... I still do but its weird that Harden got Russ here.. then Russ wants out... and now Harden wants out? Wth!?

what a mess lol (even if Tilman pulled the trigger..)

I suspect it’s probably because all the moves Tilman did this summer left them out of the loop.

 

Rockets should try to make it work with Westbrook because its pretty obvious no other team wants him.

 

No doubt, but I want the Rockets to refuse Harden's request. The Chronicle doesn't say who informed them of this. I do believe it. Harden desperately wants to get a chance in the East to win it all with KD.
He should realize that KD is probably damaged goods and Kyrie too.
@Nook Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

 

What does Warner Brothers have to do with anything?

 

That's BS.

Harden would not be 2nd option in Philly or Miami or Boston OR any NBA team other than 1 maybe 2 select teams.

And Harden may start out as 2nd option with Nets but he would end up running that system, same system he ran so effectively with Rockets.

 

Just get them all into training camp, unless you get blown away with an offer.

 

It's only true if Feigan reports it, not BS Brian Smith.

 

That would be perfect. TF just needs to pay the Luxury tax for about 3-4 years. Its only money. If we win he will get it back.

 

@cyberx we need to know if you’re hearing anything... we’re all panicking tell us whether you think it’s real or not lol

 

What are you giving up for Bamba?

 

Let’s hope you’re right.

 

cyberx has no sympathy for the Rockets. He’s a gigantic Lakers fan! Forget about him!

 

Eric Gordon and Danuel House for either Evan Fournier (free agent after the season) or Terrence Ross (has three years left on his deal worth 37.5 million in total) and Bamba would probably be realistic.

 

Nothing more then a bunch garbage from Feigan to save face for Tillman.. have some shame Jonathan

 

Neither EGo nor House has what Magic covets most - length and/or uber athleticism.

If there is no pick attached or a better player, doubtful Magic agree to that trade.

Magic are looking to move into lottery and are dangling AG and their 15th overall right now. Could get Bamba in a package that offered a high enough pick.

 

I don’t disagree that the Magic could get better offers, so even though it’s fair, they would likely look elsewhere. One of Gordon or Bamba has to go, and they need an upgrade at shooting guard or point guard.

 

At best a future 1st round. He is on a rookie deal and he is not getting the playing time he needs to get to be somebody in the NBA. Also he is not starting in Orlando. He will start here if the coach has any good sense.

 

Agree. But Magic so particular about personnel metrics. I believe they want to move up for Killian Hayes or Tyrese Haliburton.

Russ trade with either Knicks (8th overall) or Hornets (3rd overall) is best way to get both AG AND Bamba IMO.
