Predict where Harden will go

[Rastapopoulos]

Your best guess.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm hoping it will be somewhere shitty. Minnesota would be hee-larious.

 

[Labinot41]

I took Brooklyn

 

[ehizzy3]

If Philly is really offering Simmons and Maxey, Philly

 

[MickZagger]

What do we win?

 

[Titan]

I picked Philly, seems like it would work the best there for Harden.

If Philly is really offering Simmons and Maxey, Philly

Who says they are? Isn't that just Houston's (laughable) wishlist?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I picked Philly, seems like it would work the best there for Harden.

Because that's all that matters, right? We just want James to be happy.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What do we win?

Even more smugness.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Philly.

Simmons
Maxey
Thybulle
Picks into the afterlife

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm going with Miami. Pat Riley likes to roll the dice.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Philly.

Simmons
Maxey
Thybulle
Picks into the afterlife

Why would you give that much? Don't outbid the market.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I took Brooklyn

Houston is hoping to do the same.

 

[Titan]

Because that's all that matters, right? We just want James to be happy.

...well Simmons is a better return than an AWOL Irving.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Indiana could probably get it done (Oladipo looks recovered, Warren was a scoring fool in the Bubble, and Brogdon is just all around great) and pair Harden with Sabonis. But I think it would be a mistake.

 

[e_blazer]

Nets. Harden for Kyrie would be funny.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

...well Simmons is a better return than an AWOL Irving.

For sure. It's funny, Simmons is almost the ANTI-Harden.

[Rastapopoulos]

My selection of teams is a bit off. Still, so long as Portland isn't on it, it can't be that bad.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Warriors??

 

[illmatic99]

Brooklyn according to everyone.

 

[B-Roy]

 

[MickZagger]

Nets

 

[B-Roy]

The Nets traded 8 years of their controlled future. There is no fucking way we could or should have topped that. I was all for going all-in on Harden, but this is a new definition of franchising the franchise.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

The Nets have been also-rans in New York for decades. Even when the Knicks suck, they've still been second. When you have a culture of losing like that, sometimes it takes a ballsey move to break the cycle. Brooklyn has sacrificed their future for this. Let's see if it works out for them, Cotton.

 

[Labinot41]

Surprised?

 

[B-Roy]

So the Nets don't control their future until 2027.

Harden will be 36 and Durant 37 by then.

 

[Titan]

Damn, that is a hull of picks, totally not worth it, but Nets gonna Nets.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Surprised?

While I was hoping Olshay would swing for the fences, what Brooklyn gave up for Harden, while right now it looks like an absolute steal, will in 3-4 years look like absolute shit... unless the Nets have 1 or 2 rings to show for it.
