dont blame harden for wanting out of Houston at the time, they were putrid. def concerning he wants out of the NEts situation given the talent. youd think he would want to see what a healthy big 3 could do there.

that's why its tough negotiating with a direct competitor/"rival" not only is there the value aspect of trades but they are looking to weaken you.

i hate giving this guy Dumas' rumours any credence but f it. yeah if it was Simmons Thybulle Drummond for Harden and Mills i think it gets done. I wouldn't include Curry. losing Drummond would hurt, we all remember the backup C position and how that void has cost them games, including playoff games.

yeah kinda lost in all this is the possibility of Ben playing for a direct contender and having to deal with him for years. Sucks, really wish he was out in Sacto or Portland

if thats the report about the Nets asking for Maxey and Thybulle, i wouldn't be alarmed. im sure at some point they did ask for those two players. i would think Morey told them in no uncertain terms that Maxey is off the table. i could see thybulle being moved.

way too much smoke now. my guess is simmons for harden is being seriously discussed but Morey is simultaneously figuring out replacing the players going with Simmons so they can field a team.

The Pacers are trading Domas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb and Jeremy Lamb to Sacramento for Tyrese Hailburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson, sources tell ESPN.

Ok Daryl, shit's happening. let's go

"Portland's plan is to fully reshape roster around Damian Lillard now. Portland created a $21M trade exception today, potentially $60M in salary cap space this summer, multiple draft picks and assets via Pels and Clippers trades. Plan is to pursue high-end talent now, not retreat." Yeah i ...

that Portland trade is something for sure. Curious to see Dame's reaction, if any. giving Morey leverage too, maybe he did play this right.

meh defense is nice but they had 2 defensive player of the year candidates last year plus a top 10 defender in Thybulle and still bowed out in the second round. sometimes all three on the court
