the fertita stuff feels like a real stretch to me. if the rockets were set up to be contenders none of them would be trying to break up the team bcuz of the owner’s political donations

yeah that roster is thin as hell...their best 5 will be really good tho

Sources around the league believe there is a “verbal agreement” between the Nets and Rockets that would bring James Harden to Brooklyn, and create a superteam with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.Story with @FOS: https://t.co/k0Gu3kDeaj— Anthony Puccio (@APOOCH) November 17, 2020

also the nets cant even put together a half decent offer for harden, are hardens people just telling every other team that hell be a huge bitch if they trade for him

speaking of having a thin roster. what would they actually have besides those three?

lol the celtics thing where after every big trade they leak that they were actually in on it too until the last minute is a good recurring comedy bit
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 21:39 (three years ago) link
the celtics have never offered less than 3 first round picks in any trade

even if they just swapped im not sure who even wins that trade.

do the rockets think they can amnesty john wall? what is going on
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 November 2020 23:17 (three years ago) link
the wizards would clearly win it seeing as they would be acquiring the player who isn't coming off of double bone spur removal/achilles tear surgery

interesting tone to some of this lesser tier reporting re the celtics...

While the Nets & Sixers are believed to be frontrunners for James Harden, Boston Celtics are making a late push for Harden. They are trying to flip Kemba Walker and Gordon Hayward for picks and young assets that would appeal to Houston, frantically.— 👑📍Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, M.A. (@ScoopB) November 17, 2020

he was fine. more to the point is that you need line up flexibility in the playoffs. 5 man line ups look nice on paper but that's not how playoff series actually play out. the bucks last year had no moves to make beyond cycling thru wes matthews, donte divicenzo and george hill hoping someone could give them 5 positive minutes. you need 8 quality players to make it thru the playoffs.

and now they're giving up on the concept of other dudes entirely
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 18 November 2020 00:54 (three years ago) link
everyone will just be like "well you can't blame them for doing it" & i guess ultimately that is true but building a roster as a hostage negotiation just isn't what successful franchises do, imo. the margins for them will be insanely thing -- hardcapped, legitimately only have 5 playable guys on their roster, no draft picks to use in trades. they're assuming full health and a near perfect run of signings on the minimum/buyout market
