    Agreed with the order, but think Morey does the deal anyway with the way Chris Paul played this season. Chris Paul of last year does not get traded. The games missed and uncharacteristic turnovers and using Harden as an excuse and not demanded to be on the ball more and run the offense got him traded.

    We know tilman hated paying cp3s contract so he wanted to trade him no matter what

    As to who we can thank kawhi who wanted pg and presti who traded pg

    Wb became available and he specifically asked and wanted to play with harden

    Harden and tilman basically obliged

    I don't think Fertilla wanted it to happen. He was being so negative about the idea of Harden playing next to Westbrook before. Plus, he doesn't exist.

    op's order makes sense. harden tried to recruit butler. butler said no. Wb becomes available and tilman and harden being the first two to have their eyes light up is believable. morey not so much, being that he's pretty much all things anti morey from a pure basketball standpoint

    Yep this is a Dolan/Knicks kind of move... I'm sorry Tillman... kind of move. None of this makes sense but I am willing to give it a chance.... it is Championship or bust this season.

    Harden
    ThenTF

    Morey was cornered and bullied into trading for Russ. I’m sure he even got a wedgie or something. He tried so hard to convince them but Harden was set on Brodie
