Alison read a piece on Jarrett Allen who is putting up extremely Good numbers in only 24 or so minutes and would start on most teams except Durant and Kyrie want their buddy DeAndre Jordan starting. At some point, many of those players on that Nets roster are going to eventually not like playing there with KD and Irving

Cousins with his first double-double of the season (albiet in extended gar-bage time)
My biggest lament about the big fella's career is that we never once got to see him healthy, on a team that had a chance.

James Harden says Rockets are "just not good enough ... I love this city. I literally have done everything that I can. I mean, this situation is crazy. It’s something that I don’t think can be fixed."

Man, probably should have thought about that before running your teammates out of town, right mate?
I hope this guys gets sent to non-Sacramento Basketball hell.

I saw a YouTube comment that referred to Harden as James Hardees. Pretty funny, but might not make sense to you Carl’s Jr. Californians.

Makes sense. He’s somehow gained weight since already coming into the season out of shape.

I was thinking of James Hardees this morning and was wondering which of the major sports requires the most endurance?
baseball would be at the bottom
Hockey is the fastest pace but they are on skates and substitute the most
Football has a ton of stoppage
futbol has a huge field but pace is kinda hard for me to gauge
basketball is second in pace after hockey and requires a lot of lateral movement
I’d give the edge to basketball

It was just announced Harden will be kept away from the team until he is traded.

I mean, Simmons + Maxey + a couple of firsts is a pretty good haul for an overweight malcontent who has cratered his own trade value this season.The Rockets are pursuing a trade package from the 76ers that would be headlined by Ben Simmons and Tyrese Maxey, league sources say

Coattails Durant, Sage Irving and James Hardees would be an eclectic trio for sure

That is a no brainer for the Sixers. I was hoping the Rockets would get a lesser package so we wouldn’t have to worry about them for a couple years. Wall Maxey Simmons and Wood is a pretty decent core.

Yup.

is instantly probably the top team in the east. Then they use their remaining assets to grab some more supporting players *coughcough*conditional first or Thybulle for Bjelica *coughcough* and are immediately primed for the finals this year

Also if this goes through, Maxey’s rookie of the year chances sky rocket

Depends. He’s still gonna have to contend for touches with Simmons and Wall.Also if this goes through, Maxey’s rookie of the year chances sky rocket

I wonder if the sixers will try to get Pj Tucker included in the deal
Tetsujin
The Game Thread Dude
Word is that they are but I have no idea how they make the cap space work out for that (unless Morey gets one of his other former lieutenants involved)
iowamcnabb

so Ben, Maxey and thybulle for Harden and Pj Tucker. I’d say that is a good trade for both teams if that what the final deal looks like
Looks to me like the Sixers would have to throw in Terrance Ferguson (or Mike Scott, but they're playing Scott) as well to make the cap work. I don't see any clever ways around that. Splitting it into two deals doesn't change the equation here.

I hope Thybulle gets traded, tired of the 76er fans over valuing him.
