Didn't the Rockets just give him an extension. Eventually a team is going to need to play hardball with these players do not trade this dude unless it is a trade package that benefits you....

So I am under the assumption that he told Wall that he wanted to play with him right?

They must have a handshake deal. Come in and we will work on the trade

If I’m Philly I wouldn’t trade Ben either. My goal would be to play the three of them together..Harden and Joel alone doesn’t push me over the hump.
I don't see why that wouldn't at least make them a Finals team. We saw Lebron and AD just take the Lakers to the title and I don't think a Harden/Embiid pairing is that far away from them. You pair Joel and Harden with the shooting of Curry and Danny Green around them plus whatever Tobias can provide and I think that makes them a serious contender.

A two year potential rental of Harden in exchange for giving up Ben Simmons for example? I’ll pass.

He should sign the two year extension that Houston offered, which help suitors feel more comfortable that he’d stay long term. Help Houston help you get to where you wanna go is how I see it.

Ben non-shooting ass fukks up Biid. Sure you get worse defensively w/ Harden, but you absolutely trade Ben(a role player in the playoffs) for someone who can let Biid play his game and get his own shot off.

2 years isn't enough. He gotta commit to 5 right now or no deal.

Harden is 31 rn and built like a coli poster, I don't think you want him on a max deal after 33. :dahell:

Biid has dicey injury history(we don't know how long he holds up); y'all capped out, trading Ben for Harden gives you the best chance to win this year.

The East is a toss up this year, there's no lock that KD comes back as a top 5 player, y'all could def fukk around and win the East this year.

I don't care about this year, I care about our window. You don't trade a 25 year old All Star for a 2 year window, that's just stupid. Especially when 1 injury can just ruin your chances.
