    He’s already missed two years. His colllege season and his 1st year in the NBA. No one is ever the same after back surgery. Especially when you consider the durability it’s going to take to be a lead dog

    None of the players stood out on the big stage today.

    If Harden goes in tomorrow, it will be a real bidding war.

    Rockets get Brown, MPJ and Marcus Smart
    Rockets trade PJ Tucker and James Harden

    Celtics get Harden
    Celtics trade Brown, Marcus Smart and 2 FRP

    Nuggets get PJ Tucker, 2 FRP
    Nuggets trade MPJ


    That might be realistic. I would dance in the streets.

    Boston ain’t trading Brown & Smart + 2 FRP

    y’all are ridiculous with the trades. Harden is 32

    Okay, @JayGoogle, I have now boarded the Nets-Are-Dominating-So-Far bus.

    Rockets would've traded PJ and three 1st rounders yesterday if they could get Porter this way ;)

    Nets look really good. It would be a big risk for them to break this up to trade for Harden.

    Yeah, the Celtics get the best player in that trade. But I don’t see why the Nuggets would do this, unless they think PJ is the missing piece.

    One of the east “contdenders” needs to trade for harden, nobody is beating the nets as it currently stands

    Nets are better team without a trade for Harden. Boston GM is always overrating his young players to be superstars, so they are not going to trade his two young stars for Harden. Harden is likely to be a rocket for one more year.

    And Steph was 2/10 from 3 today.

    2nd straight game that GSW was just blown out. Very likely 2nd straight season of missing postseason.

    While Harden just carries lesser talented teams to the playoffs year after year.

    From all the trades on here, this seems to be strongest one.

    I think the Celtics have to ask if they can beat the Nets in a 7 game series...I don't see it. Maybe by the trading deadline they'll agree and make the move.

    Sad thing about this trade is that we would STILL be worse than before. At least this year.
