The Sixers want him we don’t have to trade him there and they can’t afford him.Seems like the Nets don't have much leverage either.
I think Harden would be stupid to leave, but it wouldn't surprise me if he does.
If he's made it clear that he wants out, then it's really the Nets who don't have any leverage.
Philly doesn't have to re-sign him, especially at the price tag HE's talking. It's worth half-a-season of Harden just to get Ben out.The Sixers want him we don’t have to trade him there and they can’t afford him.
Favor returned for KawhiYeah unless eubanks turns into a starter/big minute rotation guy masai took a slight L today.
The pistons 2nd rounder makes it less nasty but still.

Favor returned for Kawhi
The cost of doing good business
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.
Fuck it.
At this point, holla at the garden. If EVERYONE's for sale, take that Ben/Green/Shake or Kork deal to the Bricks to see if we can get RJ and Fournier.
There's already rumors we got 2 suitors for Tobias if need be so...Yall dont have the cap space to sign Harden this offseason.
Either yall trade for Harden now, or do a sign and trade for Harden in the offseason.
Either way yall gotta trade for Harden.
Unless you can offload Tobias for expiring contracts, which will mean yall giving up on this season.

What are your thoughts on Garrett TempleThey gotta stop acting like Russ is the only problem.

Trading Tobias for expiring contracts means yall punting on what might be Embiids best season though
On Philadelphia’s side of the equation, the logic is pretty simple. Based on the intel they’ve gathered, they don’t view the trade deadline as the only opportunity they’ll have to acquire James Harden, and sources say they continue to insist they won’t be coerced into throwing everything at Brooklyn to make a deal happen now.
If the Sixers eventually need to move Tobias Harris in order to clear the cap space necessary to sign Harden in the summer, sources familiar with the situation say they have two potential suitors with cap space lined up who they could move Harris to if they need to clear the decks. The pick-collecting Thunder are an obvious team to watch. Whether you believe that’s a central part of their plan or a threat meant to bring down the Nets’ current ask, that’s the word that keeps slipping out.
Exactly so Philly gotta pay up for doing them a favor.Philly doesn't have to re-sign him, especially at the price tag HE's talking. It's worth half-a-season of Harden just to get Ben out.
NahAll healthy KD, Kyrie, and Ben >>> KD, Kyrie, and Harden imo
Or y'all could just lose Harden for nothing and we can just get him in free agency....Exactly so Philly gotta pay up for doing them a favor.
With what money?Or y'all could just lose Harden for nothing and we can just get him in free agency....
