Ainge has liked James Harden for a long time.  We all know how close he got to him in the Jeff Green trade.  What has changed since then ?  Wouldn't he still be after Harden & his game ?

Would Morey trade his biggest acquisition after hitting the Western Conference Finals with him at the helm just last season ?  With the Rockets in somewhat of a disarray, is now the time to break it all up ?

I'd assume the Rockets would immediately start the package off with one of our strong defenders.  Smart, Bradley, or Crowder.  Maybe 2, to be honest.  Or maybe you give up one, plus #3 this year, the 2017 Nets swap, and the 2018 Nets pick.

Who knows what would get it done.  I just think Ainge has Harden #1 on his big trade board.  It wouldn't surprise me at all if that is the guy he's eyeing right now while the Okafor rumors swirl.

Harden is all but untouchable for the Rockets....

Ha, what a move that would be. Announce D'Antoni as your new choice, then trade your franchise player.

Might want to change the thread title to include "proposed" or "idea" or "hypothetical".

Meanwhile, we're all waiting for The Beard to actually guard someone ...
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

I don't want the Beard, not going to build a winner around him. He's too World B. Free.

Beat me to it. As written the title might be misleading to readers.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Changed.  You ok ?  Sorry if this affected you in any way.  You seem distraught about it.  It will be ok.

TP ..thanks.

Was dreading something because Morey is a whack-job.

Let Dragic walk, Parsons walk, some other decent player walk. Even though he worked for Ainge, he lets his ego get in the way too much and always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room.

Smart, 16 and 23 for Okafor? I'd do that tomorrow.

I have zero interest in No Knees Noel. We have more than enough bricklayers, thank you. Get me someone who can score the basketball.


and yet you clamor for Okafor while saying no thanks to Harden.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Mr Contradiction.
