    1st, Harden would have to want it to happen, or the team is getting blown up

    with that out of the way

    I think he could be traded for Blake Griffin

    I think Orlando would be interested

    I think NY could be interested

    if you pair him with harden, you would probably get a franchise changing haul from some bad eastern conference team like the knicks.

    Blake would actually be an intriguing target.

    After tonight I think he should just want to win! If he doesn't have that mentality then he is a fool! I pray the knicks will take him.... I truly do!

    If we don’t blow it up, I wouldn’t mind seeing this.

    I think that trade is realistic because he’s owed 76 mil the next 2 years, and is coming off a season where he looked horrible and only played in 18 games...Detroit also needs a guard

    Russ might also bring in some more fans for a team that struggles with attendance

    yes Russ is dumb and has been trash in these playoffs, but he did have a 3 month stretch this year where he averaged 30, 7, and 8 on 57% TS...Rockets could blame his horrible play in the bubble on him catching Covid and then missing 2 weeks with a quad injury

    The only thing we could trade him for is an equally terrible contract.

    We're stuck with him.

    Giannis.

    I suggest we make an offer live on Zoom during Giannis MVP trophy presentation.

    Rebuild. Trade Westbrook for picks and salary dumps. Trade harden to a contender for Siakam and van vleet plus picks so he can actually contend.

    Agree with all your points. Harden wont allow it at this point, but i do think the teams who have been desperately trying to get out of their situation as a borderline playoff team and want to add marketable star power would be interested in Russ.

    The next trade is the one that blows us up. This is our last shot. I can't imagine we could make even a lateral move trading WB.

    As long as MDA is gone. I don't want to watch Blake with a "no mid-range" mandate.

    I feel like Harden and Blake would beef almost immediately. Wall, i could see being boys with Harden though. It's crap you have to think about personality fit with our star though. It is what it is.

    Lateral would have been fine. We took 5 steps back.
