    I need a deadline by which this trade will happen. Even if it's a fake deadline - a Burt Steele deadline. I need something.

    He's not overrated anywhere. He is not Harden, but looking at his highlights, he's definetely legit. Going from a guy that couldn't put the ball on the floor 2 years ago to someone that can take anyone off the dribble in that time is great. Still has potential to unlock imo.

    Right now Siakam>Brown imo but if you take Potential into consideration, i think Brown>Siakam is the move if pieces included are equal.
    I do think tho that siakam is not at his peak yet.

    I'm wired like you.

    We have a deadline of Wednesday for the first game. If Harden is an active participant in that game, I wouldn't imagine a trade is coming very soon ( personally I don't think at all this season if he's there by then).

    Something to watch though is sometime tomorrow there is an extension deadline. No one knows what time it's at and no writer has publicized the exact time. PJ signing an extension would end any possibility of him being traded this year. Harden signing an extension would be an absolutely insane turn of events.

    If it's a Miami trade, you may have to wait until 12/25 for a trade to finalize because of Precious Achiuwa but I'd imagine all the players would be held out. Other than that, it should either be done by Tuesday if it's going to happen any time soon.

    The best player we can put on this team in void of James Harden would be James Harden. If he bought in and changed his attitude I can't think of a player who would be better for Houston.

    I want nothing more than for Harden to change his mind and retire a Rocket...rebuilding with Tilman is not something I look forward to

    He was pretty efficient scoring the ball when he could be a second option. Overrated? Sure some, but if he comes with extras I say he’s the best option I’ve heard. Tatum would be better but I haven’t heard that name yet.

    This is like James as Toretto saying he wants a 10 sec car and all he got was that beat up Supra!
    Come on Stone! Really?

    Not without Kawhi. Toronto couldn’t even get past the Celtics with him as the lead offensive player.

    Today is the extension deadline.

    If either PJ or James (lmfao) are extended today they are trade ineligible for the season.

    Wednesday is the first game. I believe if James suits up for the first game there will not be a trade until next offseason at the earliest.

    Christmas is the day that coveted rookie Precious Achuiwa is trade eligible from the Heat.
