    The return of the king.. To be honest, if we can get a young player and a pick for Westbrook, you have to take that, especially if everyone thinks/knows Harden is gone next year.

    I’m still in the minority but if we can trade RWB straight into cap somehow with the hornets. If we straight up do Batum and Zeller 3rd pick for Russ. Then buy out Batum and Zeller. I’d have to think we can throw money and FVV and Derozan if we can convince him more money than his opt in in a 2 year player option deal.
    Wiseman
    Covington/Tucker
    Derozan
    Harden
    FVV

    you still got ability to deal Gordon for a piece.

    I'm tempted to say we should blow it up too, but there's one major problem.

    We barely own any of our own first round picks for the NEXT 7 DRAFTS!!! So there's hardly any benefit to blowing it up and tanking.

    Kevin Love would be the worst trade beating the original Paul trade..

    The time to trade Harden is now .. His trade value won’t get any higher

    Cleveland can keep Andre Drummond. He cannot defend pick and rolls and he cannot shoot. The only way I do that deal is if Nance and two first-round picks is the best offer I receive, and I live with Drummond as an expiring contract for this season.

    I’d much rather deal with Charlotte, the Knicks or the Magic. Give me Miles Bridges and P.J. Washington with Batum’s contract, the #8 pick, Knox and Robinson from the Knicks, or Gordon and Bamba from the Magic.

    Morey.. I mean @cyberx returns!!!!!

    I don’t know how I feel about Love to be honest. I still think James is going to end up wanting out.

    It’s a much better alternative.

    Its watching KLove gettin mauled by AD, Jokic and Draymond more desirable?

    We aren’t competing with the top of the West.

    what second star can we flip Westbrook for that’ll change that? None.

    Yep what cyber just said reaffirms my point that Harden won’t be here next season so might as well just trade him now. Why have a farewell type tour if you realistically have no chance at a ring?

    Get Simmons and whatever you can now

    Love
    RoCo
    PJ
    EG
    JH

    thats actually really dope lineup. You can even trade RoCo or EG for some shooters and depth. Seth Curry with some young forward would be nice

    Y'all gonna be so f'n mad when Westbrook and Harden (and Gordon, Tucker, Covington) are the starting 5 for game 1.

    Also.. if you question Silas’ coaching it gives less of a reason to run it back.

    if you don’t trust him to coach a rebuild how can you trust him to coach a contender to a championship?

    That's a fair assessment. But if we just got cap space? A few good role-players and try again the very next year? Not so bad not?
