This is bullshit.
The trade SHOULD be Ben for Harden, straight up. Harden says he's not re-signing with Los Nets, and they'll get Ben for at least three years after this season. Essentially, Philly COULD get James for free after this year, so if Morey hasn't put that on that the table, he's dumber than I thought.
The most I'd do in this trade though is Ben, Danny Green, either Korkmaz OR Shake (not both), and a 2nd. If they wanted a big, I'd throw in Paul Reed, but I'd need a Frontcourt player in return.
Someone fuckin up in Philly, and all signs point to Morey.
