The James Harden situation is "crazy." He doesn't think it can be fixed.

It looks like the Rockets are looking for a Harden trade that can be done sooner rather than later.

It looks like Harden trade will happen quickly.

Nets reportedly is willing to offer anyone but Durant in trade for Harden.

Harden has been traded to the Nets per Woj.

well, considering they have no clue if they can depend on Kyrie, and after loosing Dinwiddie, I’d say that’s a good move at this point.

I think the Nets have lost their minds.

4 first rounders, 4 pick swaps, Levert, and Allen for FAT 32 year old Harden who somehow has to coexist with Durant and Kyrie.

Impossible, no way in hell that works.

Steve Nash has the hardest coaching gig ever.

I also think Houston is stupid for trading Levert for Oladipo, Levert is a young guy to build around.

I was just thinking that -- why in the world would they trade Levert for Oladipo?

It's for the cap space. But Oladipo is considered one of the best upcoming free agents.

Maybe they want to lower payroll significantly going forward or something.

Then why not trade Levert to OKC for 15 draft picks? LOL

Levert seems to be a good player to build a young team around.

That's a ton of picks.

And how are Kyrie and Harden going to co exist?

There used to be like a three month waiting period before a team can trade a player signed in free agency.

I'm not sure if that applies anymore.

If the Nets can trade Irving, I think they would be smart to do it.
