[Bill Simmons] Here’s the funny thing — there IS no Harden trade. Chicago isn’t trading Derozan for him. Clips aren’t giving anything up for him. Younger teams don’t want him. Contenders can’t risk it.

Call me crazy but I’d trade DeMar for Harden straight up. Both are 33 years old with 1 year left on their deal. Bulls aren’t winning anything this year so why not shake things up and see what Harden brings to the table. May help with spacing.
Harden really made the biggest bone-head move of his career, unless his goal was to get paid to sit out the season. If so, then congrats. Literally demanded a trade the second he picked up his option. No team wants to take on that money for him much less give up assets to do so, he burned bridges in Philly because he won’t play and he just picked up a huge option. Literally a textbook “how to piss everyone off all at once” move.
Good. I’d much rather have DeRozan.
All trade one of our young players for him, let’s say Lonzo ball.
Harden, Zach, Caruso, Pat, Vucevic probably is better, but Morey’s not trading Harden 1 for 1
