Lifestyle, personalities, how does he mesh. There is less risk for Simmons than Harden. Why? because if Harden doesn't work, you barely have trade options to do otherwise while you can always trade Simmons who has 5 years left on his deal.

Houston probably isn't trading Harden at all is my best guess. Considering how GS and LAC are both gone. PG been wanting to do an extension like JC since all of the trade rumors to show he's committed and doesn't want to leave. The thing is, I heard JC was more likely to get his sooner than PG, that's the shocking part. Edited December 10, 2020 by NBASupes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten an update good or bad so I would assume they are still moving in that direction. The longer this takes, the better for the franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Pre-draft I took a smidge of heat for my calls not to trade up for Anthony Edwards and instead to only consider trading up if it was Wiseman. I was very clear that this draft was full of good players who are just going to take a very long time to be good NBA players. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/watch-no-1-overall-pick-182958162.html Edwards debut - "Edwards totaled five points, four rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes of work off the bench in the 107-105 loss. He managed to shoot just 2-of-9 from the field, including 1-of-5 from 3-point range, while he committed five fouls and three turnovers." Lamelo Ball debut - 0-5 for 0 pts, 10 reb, 4 assists, 4 TO in 16 minutes. Wiseman - DNP Now its only 1 game....lots of room to grow...but our priorities are different right now. I'm glad we resisted the urge to trade up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiiiiiiiiiii, the internet can't wait a couple years for us to throw shade at each other's opinions. Let's give it 5 or 5 games then the gloves are off. Deal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted December 14, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 After the start both Trae and Cam had, I would be wary of making snap judgements on these rookies too soon either way. They haven't played in 11 months, they were drafted just 3 weeks ago...let than sink in. Patience required. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
