Woj: Rockets want to trade Harden "sooner rather than later"

PJ+Harden+House for Tatum+Kemba+2021 first+Nesmith.

I respect Tatum for the young stud he is but this makes Boston better right now.

 

there’s literally no package outside of Luka and giannis or AD under contract that ainge would trade Tatum for

 

I don't think you can read into that too much my man. He could be frustrated with the refs, his teammates, the score, wondering why the hell he is still here in Houston. Only Harden knows why he was upset last night.

 

well, there’s that...

 

he went out when the game had gotten out of reach, overwhelming odds are he was upset w/ the loss. which wouldn't matter to him at all if he was planning on jumping ship anytime soon

 

ainge is a fuking ass clown. holding on tight to all these fringe stars and picks for so long, only to end up now w/ a perma-hobbled kemba, limited-ceiling brown, hayward going going gone, and absolutely horrid theis. i respect tatum's game a lot and if he stays healthy knock on wood, he is going to have a great great career. but he is nowhere in the same league as harden and can never be because he simply doesn't have the elite playmaking skills to make everyone much much better. forget the age difference, ainge is a fuking fool for not trying to obtain harden's services in exchange for tatum. when you have a chance to get a player like that, you go all out for a ring

 

Possibly, I just think he's a guy that doesn't like to lose. We've seen James act this way plenty of times before when things didn't go his way. Nothing new to see here and I'm not going to speculate anything at this point. If Harden chooses to stay then great, but either way I'm still going to support this TEAM FIRST rather James Harden is on it or not.

 

The funny part about this is it took them this long to admit this. The history of basketball has never seen anything like James Harden. He turned a horrible shot to the most efficient offense in history. He forced teams to play defense behind him. He constantly gets doubled full court. Anyone who thought he wasn't gonna drop 40 the first night was fooling themselves. When James Harden shows up to the gym they should just give him 20 points to start with.

And half of clutchfans out here trying to trade him for scrubs. Appreciate Greatness guys. You never know if we will ever get someone as good as him again.

 

Jayson Tatum is not a fringe all star...it’s not even close. He’s a superstar in the making. Brown? Sure you could make an argument. If you guys had Tatum and the Celtics had harden, there’s literally no scenario under which you’d trade Tatum for. Ainge would be a tool trading tatum for harden and I’m so glad you aren’t in charge of the Celtics lol

 

Tatum & Harden maybe staying put this year.

 

100% Tatum is....harden tbd

 

you misread my post, fringe star was followed up w/ a list that didn't include tatum. point is that ainge is stubborn AF, preferring to drag out and wait, repeatedly failing to comprehend that opportunity is not a lengthy visitor. again, i love tatum's game. i love him as a player, his mental makeup including his performance in the clutch. but again he will never be on harden's level and if tables were turned i would absolutely be posting that stone should make whatever moves possible to obtain james harden still in the middle of his prime. think of it this way -- if harden was happy in houston all along (let's make-believe tilbitch fuktitta never bought the team), would morey/stone ever entertain the notion of trading harden for tatum in december 2020? pretty much zero percent chance of that.

 

Word is, he got 22 assists, 12 steals and 46 blocked shots for the first ever quintuplet double that game, but the score keeper was an early adapter of mar1juana doobie cigarettes and he rolled his joint with the box score by accident. He and Wilt puffed on the score sheet whilst they made sweet orgy to 271 women that night, legend has it.

Larry Bird/Larry Legend and a legend in his own right heard it from the man himself. When asked about this legendary night the Legend said about the legend, "271? Pssshhh.. more like 270 from what I heard."

 

Finally these two made sense

 

Lol to get Tatum we will need to throw in picks.

The kid is a stud.

 

i doubt harden gets traded, this whole saga reminds me of hakeem in 92

 

If a deal happens, the only team realistically that could make it happen is the Sixers right now.

It's really Philly or nothing. Simmons, Thybulle, Maxey + picks is the only reasonable compensation out there.

 

And you're all giddy for tatum for ad lol. You a lakers fan by any chance?

 

I completely get why Boston would feel that way about Tatum.

I still contend that adding Harden/PJ/House and subtracting Tatum increases their Championship odds for the next 2 to 3 years.

 

LOL

F giving up picks for Tatum.

Harden is better right now.
