    Let's say hypothetically Houston was looking to trade their two core pieces? Daryl, Les, and the rest of the FO are thinking forward and collecting data that shows James and Dwight are not the correct players to pursue a championship. With that said what is their value on the trade market?

    An example to get some ideas out there, who knows maybe Daryl will find a way to flip James and Dwight into something greater.

    To conclude, I think our core is good, but we need a better all around team to be great. Daryl is going to have to trade some of his beloved assets to get this team to a championship caliber squad.

    Best case scenario: Harden for Lin and Dwight for Parsons.

    No team has anything in the league of value that would replace two superstars. That's why teams don't trade superstars to begin with.

    Best case scenario would be Howard and Harden for maybe Joel Embiid and Michael Carter Williams.

    Still want to trade your two superstars? ...... Didn't think so.

    after the last 4 games, i'd say a couple 2nd rounders. maybe a 12th-15th roster player. hopefully a pad on the back too.

    Trading them would push superstars away. Besides these are two guys who wanted to be here which is something that can't be taken lightly considering no other ones wanted to be here since T Mac and Yao.

    You never get value back by trading stars. Never.

    We would probably get a couple of younger players and a couple of draft picks. And our team would be set back by a couple of years or more.

    Not sure if OP is serious...

    If he is, one of the worst threads I've ever seen.

    It was a hypothetical question people. I was just wondering what their value could be on the open market and could it actually help us. If you read what I said at the end, I explained my thoughts of James and Dwight, our core being good enough, but our depth is not.
