His mom posted that he wants out to win a ring
LOL, **** James. Dude wants out because he "wants a ring"??? Maybe he should have tried to not no-show several playoff elimination games, or tried to actually work with some of the guys we have brought in to surround him.

I have no doubt James wants out at this point but to try and say it is because you want to go somewhere else to "win" is the most tone deaf thing I have heard in a while. James has never had a win at all cost mentality and now all of a sudden that is his major concern is a pretty pathetic way to go about this.

Not right now, but just wait. A player like James doesn't really lose value if he doesn't play. Eventually someone will be desperate and you can get something slightly more fair than if you panic traded him (See Hopkins/Texans).
Who could we get?

Wiseman + Picks?

Mitchell/Murray/Booker aint happening

Zion/Morant aint happening

Ayton/Beal aint happening (not playing with CP3 or Russ again)

I think Harden gonna veto a trade to some bad teams

The 4 teams that makes sense are warriors, Celtics nets and sixers.
Celtics and 76ers can give the most up.

We ain't getting Tatum....not sure who else makes sense from Celtics. Don't think Nets can pull it off unless bringing in other teams and having a 3-4 team trade.

Honestly wonder if we can't bleed Kyrie out of the Nets. Don't think Kyrie and Harden will work out.

There's no way the Sixers would take a call on Ben Simmons

lol wut

Probably best to listen/read from some NBA experts vs just going with gut.

Simmons/Embid isn't exactly an optimal combo.

Harden is pretty much screwed here. Tilman might be cheap but he knows he has the power w/ Harden under contract. That leaves James in a S.O.L. situation. He can either (a) report and make the best of it OR (b) sit out and ruin his legacy. We aren't going to trade him for peanuts. If a great deal presents itself that you just absolutely cannot turn down for a disgruntled superstar then you take it. If not, **** it, your move Harden....

How often do you really see the disgruntled player not wind up getting what he wants?

Sure it happens every once in a while, but for the most part owners know that having a disgruntled player on the team or the optics of "punishing" a player isn't worth it in future free agency.

Ruin his legacy?

To clarify, I meant in Houston.

If Harden is going to sit out for not being traded, that ultimately means his time playing on the Team is done. This means with or without a trade, he won't be on the floor.

Rockets should hold out until an absolutely blockbuster deal. Harden not playing is a sunk cost, at this point. Put your team in the best position going forward and don't panic and take on junky players who'll make your potentially bad team only subpar.

Sounds like you have some inside information. What part of the Rockets organization do you work for?

Great in theory, but what teams do you think can give up a Blockbuster for Harden and get better?

Being a malcontent that is happy to poison the team by sitting out at strip clubs when he is supposed to be at practice generally don't get super high value in trades. He's an elite scorer, but I think his trade value is significantly lower than Houston fans think.

None right now, but it doesn't make sense to trade away your best franchise player for average Joe's if you won't be able to compete. Let it sit and see who comes calling.
