The Heat would be so good if Harden went there providing they could keep some of their best young players.

Pathetic. The guy has pretty much screwed over their season.

I guess if the Bucks traded for Harden, Khris Middleton and Donte DiVincenzo would be part of the trade plus a boatload of draft picks.

That wouldn't be a bad trade for the Rockets.

Of course the Bucks have Jrue Holiday. They could probably play together.

First he still has to clear covid testing. Before that, he pretty much ruined relations with the FO and probably teammates.

Now the season is going to start soon and he hasnt had time to get any minutes in with the team.

And then, he wants out. So the rockets are pretty much done for the season.

Personally, I think Harden will be gone soon, so I think that bridge has been crossed. Without Westbrook and Harden the Rockets were never going anywhere this season.

The Rockets will probably be looking for a quick rebuild. If they can get a key player, some young talent and draft picks, that's about the most they can hope for.

If you mean that as a timeline, he made it clear he wanted out several weeks ago (a couple months ago?).

Sorry, i mean, in addition to all that

My "timeline" is more of a list on why the rockets are done for the season, not really in any order. just random thoughts. sometimes i cant/dont want to go back and correct everything when using my phone

The NBA has 8 more players test positive but without a bubble, this is going to happen.

After the Clippers gave up so much for Paul George in the trade with OKC, they double down. They better be right.

I expect him to bounce back after his embarrassment in the bubble.

Something was missing. Maybe Leonard and George have yet to develop chemistry.

There were a couple of playoff games where George didn't shoot well.

the interesting thing is. If it doesn’t work out then Kawhi has an out after this year. I could see him leaving

The Clippers have their future tied up in George. As you note, Kawhi has a player option at the end of the season. If he leaves they better hope they can attract another top player. I can't believe Ibaka went there for only $9,258,000 but he has a player option as well after the season.

Maybe the Nets need to think about trading Irving for Harden if Durant is cool with it. I'm not a fan of Irving.

As I recall, Irving was one of those opposed to the players playing in the Orlando bubble.
