    This sounds like total nonsense. His cook knows all this information?

    Harden likes to eat! Cook probably a good source! ;-)

    We believe any everything here. No matter the source. Could be the Orkin man of one of Harden’s neighbors.

    To be fair, we did get a scoop from a barber about Dwight Howard coming years ago if I remember correctly so...

    We don't know how serious the Rockets really are about trading James. It's possible that behind close doors there's been an agreement to give the team a little time to gel and see if it's worth staying around. We really have no idea and it's unfair to just say that a personal chef wouldn't know that James was contemplating hanging around for a while longer, especially due to the nature of the job, it's possible said chef would move to the new city with him.

    Francis trade from the mall.

    I heard Asik was being traded to New Orleans from a very random source and shared it with a few people.

    Information has a weird way of passing through. I have no reason to not believe that a personal chef would a) say that b) would know what's going on with his client.

    i mean I’ll take multiple reporters, your insiders, his mom, and the fact that he turned down an extension over the chef

    The insiders here have all said that James isn't necessarily gone. That is a constant.

    Well you claimed listen to the insiders here.

    Codman and Cyber have both said that Harden could stay.

    You're not getting James Harden for Kemba Walker and the 76ers are not getting him for Tobias Harris.

    I can guarantee that.

    its not out of the realm of possibility that Harden may be realizing any trade leaves the team he’d go to in not much better shape then his current situation. I think it really just comes down to how much he wants to leave Tillman.

    If it isn’t the MPJ deal

    I’m taking the Miami offer right away.

    It's kind of funny because some of us here think the same thing and have no sources lol.

    I mean yeah, if the Rockets make the WCF and lose in game 7 he might not be in such a rush to leave. Obviously.

    Giannis isn’t terribly bright so it is possible. Harden and Giannis would be an amazing duo. Giannis needs someone that can score at a large clip in the playoffs.

    It also has to do with perceived attitude and wanting to be the man.

    If you are already complaining about shots in your 1st year of playing meaningful minutes, I don't think other stars are gonna want to play with you.

    I admit I don't know if thats was overblown but he has had entitlement issues going back to high school and these days a SG and SF are pretty interchangeable.

    Relationships are why players come together that's the most important thing frankly its crazy to try and claim some perceived upside is the reason we could maybe attract another star.

    With that said maybe MPJ has those types of relationships.

    My ideal trade is more than the higher upside guy especially if that upside mainly on the offensive side, I think the biggest difference between Brown and MPJ would be the package around them because I think as pieces to a good team they are about the same.

    Oh I agree, I don't see many teams being able to beat the Nets in the East if they can stay healthy. Although I like Middleton and Holiday a lot, I don't think that's enough to beat Brooklyn (not this year at least) in a seven game series. Harden and Giannis together would be a nasty duo, might be just as good as KD and Irving.
