    This would definitely be the end of the Blazers. We aren't winning shit with Harden.

    How in the hell does anyone think he would co-exist with Dame? This is a nightmare and the Blazers will end up in Las Vegas inside of two years if it happens.

    That's not what all the rumors have been saying - Houston wants Simmons but 76ers don't want to give him up.

    Philly is supposedly hesitant to include picks and that is the holdup on the Simmons trade. The idea here is they would get CJ and other young players from us plus the picks that they want.

    Because trying to win with 1 all-star has proven to be nearly impossible in the NBA. And I don't like Harden!

    You're probably right we won't win it all with Harden. We also haven't won it all without Harden for the last 43 years.

    Because they have John Wall and Simmons is ball-dominant. CJ’s role wouldn’t change.

    They're not building round John Wall.

    Would you trade CJ and Nurk for Simmons in a three way with Houston? The trade is very simple. CJ and Nurk to Houston, Harden to Philly, Simmons and Bradley to us.

    They have him for 3 more years at an insane contract as a ball-dominant PG so they should consider it unless they plan on him being on off-the-ball shooter.

    He’s not declining his 2022-23 player option at $47,000,000+ at age 33.

    The Rockets were a Chris Paul hamstring injury away from beating the Ultra Warriors. Harden with Dame and this supporting roster, you have to consider it if truly possible.

    Is it true that PDX has a lot of strip clubs? Just asking for a friend.

    This is a Kawhi like gamble they need to pursue if possible, Hardens clownish behavior be damned. Getting rid of CJ would be the icing.

    As well as a lot of other teams.

    Can't even fathom why some would want Fat Harden on the team. He's literally done nothing with better players around him than he will have here.

    Harden for CJ/Zach/Trent is what it would take imo, and most likely a 1st.

    Dame/Simons
    Harden/Hood/CJ2
    DJJ/Nas
    RoCo/Melo/Giles
    Nurk/Kanter

    3 seed? Second unit would scare me.

    So you think Westbrook is better than Dame, and Capela is better than Nurk? You might, and that’s fine. Covington would be on both teams of course. Tucker?
