Harden to the rockets, 4 year 180m
James on a 4 year deal would terrify me
Hope Lue goes to a place he enjoys … Guy has been through the ringer his whole head coaching tenure
Blazers making the #3 pick available instead of just trading Dame would be very dumb
Rockets getting Harden. trading the 4th pick for a proven player. they’re making the play-ins at the very least
Houston to the Rockets, four peat like Comets
harsh truth coming from a blazers fan, with how many holes are in our roster, especially the bench, and the reality we likely have to package simons or sharpe with the 3 pick to get a high level player in return, i can’t envision any move we make keeping dame on the roster that gets us to true championship contention. the answer is trade dame and use the 3 pick
Not trading chris paul = window closed
Why would the Suns guarantee CP3’s last year? Is that to facilitate a trade?
Also, I’m trading Dame if anything if I’m Portland 🤷🏽♂️
The Blazers can get some immediate value to play alongside Dame, who was ballin.
Trading the pick and not Dame is gonna make me angry. Please start the rebuild now
Keeping the pick and trading Dame just makes too much sense to me. Not sure what Portland’s strategy is here
Only thing I know for certain is if Portland trades the pick, whoever gets drafted with it will be a superstar
If Haynes says it like that, then Dame wants that pick traded.
This is a big mistake by Portland. It’s time to call it and rebuild.
Rockets really gonna pay James Harden a huge contract to be a fringe play-in team?
James Harden will averaging 2.7pts a game in four years
As a professional Sixers hater this is fantastic.
Keep in mind for the suns stuff, he’s legit gotten the last 2-3 reports wrong about the suns. He could be right, but probably not.
Bro I’m not even sure Harden will be in the league in 4 years lol. He for sure won’t be a starter by that point
Keep Lu, he wasn’t the problem. I would not want any of the available coaches floating around over him
Just watch Philly hire D’Antoni lol
James to the warriors 😂
**James Harden**: *”If I’m going to be honest with you, it’s looking like I’m going to test free agency when my contract is up.”*
Keeping CP is a mistake. So much money tied up between 4 players, and 2 of them are on the decline.
Harden is defintely not good enough anymore to get his money and compete at the same time.
Didn’t a report come out and say that the Suns wanted to move on from CP3?
Please Bulls, please God. Blow the team up and give the Blazers whoever they want for it.
Dame for Jordan Poole straight up. Straight face 😐
>!Nephew……….!<
Can I interest you in this Ja Morant?
Weird Harden is just 33 but feels older
Sixers packing Harden’s bags and getting him a limo to the airport so fast. “Oh no! So sad! You a real one!”
Why would Portland trade their pick? They could get an absolute huge haul for a 32 year old Lillard while his value is still high. Having the last choice of Wemby, Miller, or Henderson is still a great start to a rebuild.
Tough situation. Anyone who maxes Harden will be taking themselves out of contention for a chip.
I admire Dames loyalty to Portland. But Portland would be crazy to trade pick 3 in a very good top of the class draft to get someone next to a soon to be 33 year old star. You’re trading 12+ years for maybe 3 or 4 years? Get the best value you can by trading Dame to the best situation possible and start over with Scoot or Miller.
The blazers should trade Dame and keep the 3rd pick. Who knows, that pick could be your new face of the franchise. If they trade the pick and try and help dame, they gonna be ass for the next 10 years lol
