I’m right there with u bro...it’s better than Levert, but if he doesn’t become a legit star then it’s still a fail I really don’t like any of these trade packages for Harden to keep it real...Ben Simmons is the best one, but I don’t even like Ben Simmons like that with all his flaws I wouldn’t be really happy unless the impossible happened and we got Tatum, or if we had gotten young Porzingis in NY before the injuries...those are the caliber of young guys I would be happy with in return for Harden
I agree, that's what makes him a really intriguing option. It's a real good gamble. He develops his offensive game further and we may have a cornerstone to build around, especially if we accumulate assets while sending James out.
Fining James isn't the best way to go strategically. File a tampering complaint against BKN and Durant to create leverage and trade from strength.
I kind of assumed that's how it went, the Nets called and offered their scrubs for Harden, the Rockets laughed at them and hung the phone up and that was that.
There is no way you can win a Harden trade. I support the team handling this as hardliners. It's not like he left us a lot of options open.
Simmons would fit in fine with Wood, but he doesn't fit in with Wall at all unless Wall comes back A LOT better at 3's. If he truly did put in the work, like he claims, and he can be a high percentage 3 point shooter overall, then the fit is fine. If not, I mean, Simmons can't really play off ball.
He is a sublime fit with Wood. Remains to be seen how Wall has improved as a shooter, but I think he is pretty easy to mix in. Plus, the truly elite defense of Simmons would be amazing to add.
In any scenario where we get Simmons, but i'd say in any scenario where we trade Harden and reubild in general, Wall has to be the second piece to go, he's 30 and makes no sense in a rebuilding team, even more so in a team built around Simmons since he's incredible with the ball in his hands but can't shoot. Wall and his still atrocious contract have no space in that scenario, also cause if you get Simmons, you better make it clear to him and his agent (Rich Paul) that he's going to be the man on this team, otherwise yuo'll see him ask out after few months.
I’m in. Forget it, I’m tired of this. Great, great talent and I appreciate what he did for the team. I’m just done.
