Harden Traded to Nets

[warfelg]

Without a doubt, one of the best defensive bigs in the league for a future late round pick. I mean Allen is only 22 years old. Plus Prince is a serviceable 3/4 himself.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Prince is flipped at the deadline.

True. I think Allen, Porter, Sexton, Garland should be the only untouchables.

Oladipo doesn't want to play in Houston. Didn't see that coming.

[mightybosstone]

Our best local guy said the Sixers said no to Simmons, Thybulle, picks so most of the reports yesterday were just smoke to get as much from the nets as possible. I think Simmons alone wouldve been better regardless.

Agree to disagree on that. Assuming that trio doesn't stick around for seven years or aren't playing at prime level (both are likelly), we're talking about at least 2-3 likely high lottery picks on top of years of late first rounders. Is it likely that Houston will draft at least one player of Simmons' caliber with those picks? I'm going to say yes, and certainly the cumulative effect of having that many firsts and the assets they'll accumulate from those picks is worth more than Simmons alone.

The rockets havent really had much success in the draft from what ive seen. I think theyre banking on a BK blowup and the potential to get a top end pick which i guess is prob worth the risk

The Rockets haven't "had much success" because they don't typically draft guys in the first round. They haven't had a first round pick in over five years, and they haven't had a top 10 pick since 2006. Despite that, they've still managed to draft multiple starter quality guys like Capela, Montrezl Harrell and Marcus Morris on top of a few solid rotational guys.

The issue isn't their ability to recognize talent, it's that Morey just never valued draft picks on a veteran team that was always contending for a title. Based on how Houston has recognized young talent this offseason sans Morey with guys like Wood and Jae'Sean Tate, I feel fairly confident they can use those picks to develop a legit playoff squad in the next 5-10 years.

Lol I thought the same thing!

They are going to experiment with a 5 center lineup for ratings.

I rather have Allen over Drummond

Don't know how Nash is going to deal with those 3 divas. I think I have a funny link to what the Nets will look like on offense. Hope it works.

But why for the Rockets? I guess it's just moving out money commitment, but why not keep LeVert at 25 years old on his 3 year deal?

trying to figure out that also.

My guess is that Lavert is taller than Dipo.

Ya same here. I realize why the Rockets did not get Allen. He was too tall for them.

[WhiteShadow42]

That's better.

lmao.

If I’m a GM I’m not trading for Kyrie..

That's cause you would be trading for thin air.

Net's have a superstar coming off a bad injury; another that is Houston's sumo wrestling champion; and the third who is going to be a space cadet. The top teams in the league shouldn't worry.

[WhiteShadow42]

Kyrie for Kuzma +KCP + Caruso + picks...who says no?

Lebron is the only one who can tame Kyrie’s azz

Hey dude. I thought you were on our side.

[WhiteShadow42]

Retirement doesn't even get his salary off their books lol

Evoke the 25th Amendment. That might get Kyrie off the books.
