    lmao, people talk about Harden in the playoffs when Giannis is out here getting pantsed in public and exposed every year

    u think he’s re-signing here to play with Russ and the scrubs...actually, with the way Russ was playing, he’s a part of the scrubs...So u think he’s re-signing here to play with scrubs? The hell would he accomplish here with this roster?

    If we could swap Harden + Westbrook for Giannis and Middleton then yea I would do it in a heartbeat. If we are going to trade Harden then we must trade Westbrook along with him as that is probably our only chance to dump Westbrook's horrendous contract at this point.

    It's a no from me. At current time, Gianni's could be a nice #2 on a contender. He can't be the system.

    The blueprint against Gianni's is out. It's Giannis' move. He could get better or he could plateau. For the money his camp will be looking for, any team who spends has to make him the system.

    I really don't like watching Giannis play. All he does is barrel his shoulder into the defender over and over again. It honestly blows my mind that people complain about Harden but love Giannis. I mean there are other players I don't like that you still respect their skill and talent.

    That said, I think you would have to do this trade just based on age. Harden will be a good scorer for awhile, but probably only has 2 or 3 years left as elite, all NBA guy in my opinion

    The thought of Giannis and Westbrook on the same team almost makes me want to puke. Would the opposing defense have anyone outside of 10 feet from the basket?

    Giannis and Russ are both unwatchable...together on the same team, along with that scrub EG would have my eyes bleeding by every halftime

    Yes. Alot younger than Harden with room to improve plus Giannis might help us put the media and refs more on our side lol

    Tucker didn’t start putting NBA miles in his body until he was 28 years old. He has plenty of hoops left.

    Are you asking would we or is that at least a 1% chance we can. Either way, not going to happen.
