    HAHA. Harden may sit out the season if he gets traded to the Jazz. Hell, far lesser players have done this sort of thing in the past. Danny Ferry.....

    Of course Stevens would say that and I still believe Kawhi is the outlier and he still is not a playmeker as shown by the clippers flameout.

    Anyway I don't see Brown being the top guy on a championship team and I certainly don't see him being Bradley beal and no one else has comped them either.

    MPJ, RJ, Bol Bol, and Gary Harris is a better deal than Ben Simmons straight up, plus these players can actually shoot the ball

    Riley is using DR ploy as a negotiating technique. When the deal is finally done and Stone gets DR he'll feel like its a major coup. Don't fall for it Raf, stay strong.

    The Raptors make a lot of sense as a team that should be pushing hard for Harden. Since they are a Canadian team, they’ll always have trouble attracting superstars in free agency. They also have the pieces to make a good offer: Siakam, either Anunoby or Norman Powell, and picks.

    VanVleet can’t be traded right now, since he just signed an extension during the offseason.

    If the Nuggets are willing to put Murray on the table, they absolutely deserve serious consideration. If the headlining piece is Michael Porter Jr., it’s not enough.

    Didn't say that. But common sense to both of us....Durant is a different animal on one leg than Wall.

    And, I LOVE Wall, but again, I understand how James takes the risk knowing that there is another guy to step up even if KD needs a rest.

    Safe to say that all the "analysts and insiders" misrepresented the market for James Harden??? Seems like we have a good old fashioned free for all bidding war!

    if u get all of that sure I haven’t even seen 1 link of Denver being involved anywhere and still thats subjective, none of those players could be all stars or all nba defense or all nba, let alone both.

    Same. A trade centering around bringing back Isaiah Hartenstein is really the only move that makes sense.

    The only teams that have players we could realistically want are teams with multiple young stars. Otherwise I don’t see any kind of trade package that makes any sense. So to me, that means

    Ben Simmons
    Jaylen Brown
    Jamal Murray or Michael Porter Jr

    Yeah, it’s hypothetical if Denver is involved. I don’t think Morey will throw in a lot picks. Ben and a protected 1st round pick
