    I could be ok with a couple of *starlets* plus picks, but not a trade with MPJ being the only high upside player.

    Something like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, MPJ and 3 #1 picks. But that would require that Denver trades everything of value they have not named Jokic or Murray. Don’t think they have enough.

    Please no, unless it's coming with Jamal Murray. I know what it's like to have a bad back and I know it's anecdotal but some days you just don't have it in you to compete at a level especially necessary for professional ball. Not a risk I want the Rockets taking.

    I’d rather have porter than any of the Miami crap

    SGA & MPJ both are soft and have intensity issues. Neither will ever be a franchise guy. MPJ is drama and an injury waiting to happen to boot.

    Even O'Brien would scoff at trading for Ben Simmons though

    Can we stop posting these? These guys generate fake content by creating or repeating rumors and y'all are all over it. Stop supporting them. When Harden gets traded, we all will know. We don't need the drama about conversations that may or may not have happened.

    Exactly. Why are the Nuggets even engaging the Rockets if Murray, Jokic, and MPJ is off the table?

    If Harden stays, I'd love for a Nuggets vs. Rockets playoff matchup where we mop the floor with them.

    Don’t give O’Brien that much credit. He would have traded Harden to Philly for Dr. J’s jersey the first time he was late for practice.

    Besides the money not working there is ZERO way Denver would say no to Harden for Porter lol. Zero way.

    MPJ, Barton and Harris

    PLUS

    their next 16 available first round picks?

    Like c'mon, those 3 dumpster players won't get it done.
    MPJ looked good at times in the bubble, but he looked more like the 2nd coming of Big Dog (gifted offensively with no defence) than a legit star

    Simmons looking like the prettiest girl in the room after five straight rejections.

    sad isn’t it. Fact is most teams are turned off by Harden. The way he plays could mean negatives for their other players. Plus Harden still has to prove that he won’t go cold in playoffs/crunch as he always tends to do.
