Shams: Harden Deal could culminate quickly!!!

because you're stuck with both. if you're not concerned about the immediate future then you go for the picks over knowing a max simmons sucks on this team that leaves you with 0 avenues/assets to improve

 

at this point, I'd rather have ben Simmons than Kyrie.

 

Yeah. There is a better likelihood Nwaba turns into an average shooter than there is Simmons becomes just a below average shooter.

NO SIMMONS

 

If you have 4 elite shooters and defenders around him maybe.


But that formula didn't work for the Bucks in the East with Giannis being a non-shooter so I have negative amounts of hope it will work in the West, and pretty much detest this package.


There is considerable evidence he is shooting with the wrong hand even when he does shoot. Do not want.

 

We should buy a bunch of banana boats and go take it.

 

Morey is the winner if Simmons come here. He gets Harden and gets rid of Simmons.

 

Sadly, this is a good point. We won't be good. At all.

 

Stabbed him in the back lmao. Tilman is the cause of all of this. CP being dealt, Morey wanting out, MDA wanting out and now Harden wanting out. This guy has single handily ****ed the Rockets. This is what happens when you would rather cut corners and save money Vs making winning your number one priority.

 

Just you and Caris.

 

If he gets traded today, I'm really a fan of Stone's way of doing business. Know when to stop. Once a line is crossed, move with conviction while still maintaining certain leverage (BKN vs PHI)

 

People think we're still competing for a championship after trading Harden. Its cute.
When you trade Harden, its time to rebuild. Short term fit is irrelevant.

 

this season with Simmons and Wall is a waste, so we’re gonna have to hope that Wall can be moved before next season or the following season will be a waste too

since this season is a waste, we basically have 4 years to try and build around Ben Simmons and actually accomplish anything before he either leaves because Klutch Sports doesn’t want him in Houston, or we could hand a 29 yo Ben Simmons another big contract

 

This means it’s the Nets lol

 

All-star yes. Superstar? Doubt it.

 

You got me worked up with that one Reeko!

 

In reality though, if a deal does go through today with Philly, that Embiid/Harden combo will be lethal. Instant championship contenders.

 

which would put the bra bra myth to rest. that's reason enough to trade him to Brooklyn

 

Feigen:

“The Rockets have held talks with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers about deals, a person with knowledge of talks said. Former Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, now the 76ers president of basketball operations, had offered All-Star guard Ben Simmons, the person familiar with the negotiations said, but the teams could not reach agreement on the remainder of a trade package. Talks have continued before and since Harden’s comments on Tuesday.”
