Not sure how I feel about OKC 2.0 in Brooklyn :patrice:

The franchise is obviously headed in a different direction than we were 2-3 years ago which is why things feel different. I was in love with that homegrown culture the Nets built but I’m still excited how far this team can ascend.

I feel the same... Im literally split on this as ive been wanting us to go with the same team fully healthy but the names i was hearing weren't moving me.. Harden aint a fan of him but if he wants to come here how do you say no? :mindblown:

It's a good thing KD/Kyrie/Harden is enough to outscore anything moving because there's no defense coming from the guard position, Joe's not exactly DPOY material himself, and this ain't Clippers Deandre.

A lot could go wrong, but if it goes right....you walk out a champion multiple times. Giannis and his decision is irrelevant, nobody else is coming out of the east. Which would only leave the Lakers as a threat and LeBron ain't getting younger.

That's also a shyt ton of money, GS didn't have to pay as much for their 3 as we would have to. So you'd have to wonder if Joe's status is affected too.

I've thought about it, you can make it fit on the court. Kyrie & James can start, you'll just need to stagger them so that one is always on the court at a time. They can relieve each other and close the 4th together. Just not sure how much of a team is leftover after a trade lol.

Exactly. This ain't Billy King/Boston territory, this guy is in his prime. And we're not making the trade to "compete" with Bron/Miami, you take the East in a stranglehold if it goes through. Another plus is, if we get him Philly or no one else can.

I'm not the biggest Harden fan either, I know you saw my thoughts on him lol. I have zero faith in him leading you anywhere as your best player. 2nd or 3rd tho? Sign me up.

Yep esp with him saying he hated playing the way he did in Houston and he wouldn't have the ball as much..him as a second is perfect for him

Also he would be insurance in case KD doesnt come back 100%

Yea brehs this feels like the D'Angelo situation in 2019. We wanted to keep him but we knew we had to move him for KD+Kyrie.

I feel how y'all feel. I wanna keep the squad as is and add pieces. But James Harden is high caliber player. Adding him would make us a true juggernaut. So we have to entertain it and give it some thought.:yeshrug:I trust Marks to put us in the best position to win and what's best for us overall.

I rather empty our depth for Harden, than to spend it on Holiday.
