    No worries bro, i actually think it's not happening too, was just saying that on paper it's possible, but yeah...and just to be clear, i wouldn't dump Chris for cap space either (unless i'm 100% sure a top tier free agent is willing to sign here of course), but if you can get good picks/rookie scale contracts might be worth exploring imo.

    He has been significantly better all around than Anthony Davis, and truly the only chance the NBA has had of realistically taking out GSW the last two years.

    Not only scoring, but tempo and game management, of which Davis brings ZERO to the table, which is why he struggles to even make the playoffs.

    unless Butler is about to come here and be a star that we need next to Harden, get rid of CP0 now before he suffers some major injury or declines even more heavily and his value plummets from where it is right now and we end up officially stuck with him...I’m praying some team bails us out this summer

    If you watch AD's games closely, he can't go hard at the end. He is not an elite athlete aerobically.

    Isn't Jaylen still on a relatively cheap rookie deal? If so, Boston hangs up.

    Define "total." Because to me, that means Harden's gone, and getting rid of Harden now would be idiocy. I don't see how they can get rid of Paul, absent John Wall coming here (ugh), or the LA LeBrons losing their minds.

    OTOH, Capela and Gordon shouldn't be buying too many more mansions in the Houston area...

    what team do you root for?

    Coming out of the blue and pretending that you are the authoritative voice on all matters.

    I wouldn't trade Harden for anyone in the NBA. I'll ride with him until he decides to hang it up.

    He's qualified for an extension this summer I believe. If Kyrie bolts, CP3 might be the better backcourt mate for Tatum. Horford can slide to the 4 spot with Clint on the roster. Re-sign Morris:

    Capela
    Horford
    Morris
    Tatum
    Paul

    You still have Marcus Smart on the bench too.

    Bold prediction. Paul and Mike D are both back next year.

    Damn,I guess im one of the only guys who gets attached to players haha. Cause of all these talks just sucks to me. I dont think I could have more resentment for the Warriors than I do right now.

    Ask for an asset in addition to Lebron, then make that trade.

    Lebron plus... Hart or Luzma (ideally)

    CP3
    EG
    Lebron
    Tucker
    Capela

    Sorry... but that’s better than the rockets have been.

    Or do a second package involving anyone not named Lebron and CP3 for AD

    Once upon a time I was a Sonics fan. Then Clay Bennett happened. Can't root for OKC so don't really have a dog in the fight but still watch a lot of basketball. Came here out of curiosity as to what HOU was likely to do.

    Not sure what you mean about pretending to be an authoritative voice. Plenty of people here state strong opinions. (shrug)

    And sure, fan loyalty to your star is great (I still sentimentally root for KD a little after his brief time in SEA). But I don't think Morey thinks like that.

    Out of all scenarios, this is the one I'm most expecting to happen.

    Not so bold if you know that all Morey’s big moves came when nobody expected it to happen.

    Sooo basically the same roster minus Harden for Bron makes us that much better? Why yes, yes it does! That’s a legit team with a real leader that can run and function as a team.
