    I really don’t think it’s the best fit for Harden. Mitchell and Harden are pretty redundant. Also, the Clippers have zero draft capital to offer up. They will need a 3rd team to get anything good back for Harden.

    It should be so, but Ime will never allow it, plus no one would want FVV until the deadline with that salary.

    Harden happy with going to the Cavs seems crazy to me. I guess if they’re willing to pay him 80 mil this summer though it’s not so crazy.

    Ideally the GM makes those decisions, but I get the feeling that Stone will do whatever Ime wants.

    Grimes and Drummond to Houston

    Both of Houstons 2nd rd picks this yr to Philly

    DFS and Philly 1st to Brooklyn

    Houston gets a big and offensive help

    Philly gets significant cap relief for trading their 1st for 2 2nds

    Brooklyn uses their cap space to acquire an asset

    Not a bad thought. Drummond can still play a little bit. I'd rather have a stretch big but some more insurance couldn't hurt with Steven out

    Strikes me that Philly really should have sold high on Grimes during the offseason.

    People laugh but Lakers always seem to make out alright despite their pupu platter they have to offer.

    If it was up to udoka, he would’ve traded sengun for Giannis. I think it’s stone’s decision to keep sengun.

    It would cost way more than that, probably have to part with a 1st rounder. Sad thing is they signed Jerome cheaper than we signed DFS.
