TBH-
Russ harden
Russ Kyrie
IMHO one of these are happening.
Morey avoids harden extension, knows what to expect from russ and gets a huge chunk of change off books. Plus russ can play with bigs. |

Westbrook for Harden. Westbrook expires this season, and if they could move Harris to another team that would free up a ton of cap for 2023. |

Davis for Irving, but only because Portland and Philadelphia would hang up if we called about a Westbrook trade. The Nets would talk to us. _________________ Internet Argument Resolved |

Westbrook for Harden might actually make us worse. |

How low can we get compared to this season with 1 of the best talented scorers in the league? We would only go up. |

I've always been a Harden supporter in spite of most here hating him... but he was complete ass this playoffs.
However, I'd trade Russ for him in a second as there is some chance maybe he could be revived for a couple more seasons and he fits better with LeBron.
I'd trade Kyrie for AD also. I get the two way player thing and that Kyrie is unreliable but I just think Kyrie's a better player.
I can't imagine getting Dame for Russ otherwise that might be my first choice.
I don't think Portland would do that. |

Please, no James Harden.
Did you watch the series?
Rather keep Westbrook. He’s a way more engaged and aggressive player. Harden was aloof.
No thank you. |

IG, if you are a Harden fan, I feel sorry for you.
He sucks.
Really sucks.
To be a scorer is nothing special.
Dude doesn’t care, isn’t engaged and is a prima donna.
The rest of the league has caught up with his shenanigans.
No thanks. Hard pass on that crap. |

The most realistic unrealistic trade that I see possibly not happening:
Lakers:
In: Ben Simmons, Gordon Hayward
Out: Russell Westbrook, Talen Horton-Tucker, 2023 2nd Rounder
Why? Russell just didn't fit. Klutch has planned for Ben on the Lakers all along
Nets:
In: Terry Rozier, Talen Horton-Tucker, 2022 2nd Rounder, 2023 2nd Rounder
Out: Ben Simmons
Why? Ben isn't going to play a game for the Nets. And no team will trade for him because he'll only play for the Lakers
Hornets:
In: Russell Westbrook
Out: Terry Rozier, Gordon Hayward, 2022 2nd Rounder
Why? To get out of that gross Hayward contract. And Jordan brand Russ is so good
Then part 2
Clippers:
In: Kyrie Irving, Joe Harris
Out: Paul George, Nicolas Batum
Why? Kyrie + Kawhi + Ballmer are personalities that deserve each other.
Nets:
In: Nicolas Batum, Paul George
Out: Kyrie Irving, Joe Harris
Why? PG and KD. Sounds good. _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!! |

Irving can't stand Lebron. Doubt that is realistic. |

Yea Balmer is really maximizing those billions with the Clippers. Those stupid faces he makes on the sidelines is great too.

The scary thing is.. Kurt and Linda are probably a package with Jeanie.. so wherever one goes, the other goes too which means we are stuck with them unless the team gets sold |

Harden can space the floor and efficiently run an offense. That’s the opposite of Westbrook. Harden would be a huge upgrade. _________________ If Brandon Knight were to come out, I would take him number 1 in the draft. - Magic Johnson Mar 27, 2011

Most def. Much better fit. No one will sag him. Spacing will be much better provided we have a couple of defensive wings that can shoot. |
