    Interesting thing is, Woj hasn’t tweeted immediately after to tell us who’s all involved like he normally does.

    I’m surprised that they got so much back for old Harden to be honest.

    I think that is the piece few are talking about that might make a difference?
    Problem is the clippers lost Batum. Nic has big veteran value. Smart player who does things that count.

    I agree that Nico is great, but he is playing the same position as KL and PG so less of an issue, imho, they lost the Morris brother (usable, even if he is a knuckle head) and needed a real bruiser role player that can guard and hit 3s. There is probably a picture of PJ Tucker in the NBA dictionary under this description.

    Does Tucker still have it though? The dude is 38. Kind of getting a washed up Kyle Lowry vibe from him this season.

    They don't need him to do it for 36 minutes a game behind KL and PG. They need him for 20 minutes a game.

    I guess we will see. It is a long season and full of intrigue.

    We may not like Morey and we all think he is a complete tool but he got more then I think most of us thought he would get for Harden. Also I wonder if the NBA stepped in after him sitting the first game and said either get a trade done or he needs to re-join the team by a set date or you will be fined X amount for every game he is not playing. I only say this cause this seemed like it could have happened weeks ago to avoid all the BS drama so something or someone must have stepped in to speed this up.

    Yeah Morris can come in and change a game just by being the guy he is. Kind of pisses people off and gets in their heads.

    Agreed. This trade makes Cronin look like a genius. All Morey got was scraps and scrubs. But then, addition by subtraction I guess.......

    The Sixers basically just got an expanded Malcolm Brogdon deal. Bunch of shitty filler and one first round pick. The trade isn’t good for Philly. They didn’t even get Mann.

    I thought they got two first rounders, two 2nds, and a swap?

    Correct. But, at least they have Maxey and will have a lot of cap space next summer. They basically would have got nothing if they let Harden go for nothing. He basically effed them - so after playing hard to get for a while, they came to their senses and got whatever they could...

    How long until James Harden isn’t happy in the Clippers organization and wants to be with the Lakers?
