Suppose he doesn't re-sign, isn't his contract due to expire?

I believe he has 1 year as a player option.

If I am Morey I am not budging on Maxey or Thybulle. Harden is a FA in the off-season, he can go to the Nets right now, and tell them he wants to play with Embiid so get a deal done. 

Nets don't budge then I adjust and get a package of expiring contracts and a makeshift unit of players to get buy. Then in the off season tell them now you get this garbage for Simmons. 

Correct.  This should be equivalent to the value of a sign and trade deal in the summer.  Which is not full value that harden would otherwise require. Just like we saw when we had to trade Butler for Richardson.

Buddy, Barnes, and Bagley work

Can't really be tampering if the team agrees to trade him.  That's more an issue if he decides to walk away and signs with the 6ers.

Harden all of a sudden gets frustrated where he is playing? He was talking to Morey to make some noise and get this done. 

I could see seth being thrown into the deal...and i think I'd be okay with it.

Makes Nets pretty dangerous 

Wonder what the numbers are of Harden vs Simmons

Ideally, Danny Green.

If you have to do Seth, Im ok with that too.

The ball will be dominated by Harden and Embiid. You can live without Curry, because you still want some shots for Maxey.

Daryl will insist on Harden AND Durant for Ben. So Im not expecting it to happen.

We’ll get Harden, and Kyrie whenever the Nets are at home. They’ll get him the rest of the time.

Still six days to go. So far Morey’s patience is yielding dividends, or at least optionality. Hopefully it leads to Beal, Harden or Dame. 
 

No way in hell I am trading Maxey at this point.

Exactly they don't have the leverage they think they do. 

Minnesota supposedly is willing to take Harris with Simmons now.

Wonder if you could get a three team deal done where the nets, sixers and twolves are involved. Not realistic but nevertheless i think Harris as third option behind kyrie and Durant actually makes sense. But i doubt the nets think hats enough. I also doubt sixers would get harden and Beasley and Beasley takes away from curry and maxey if he comes here but I’d be thrilled to get that type of deal

The problem with that is I think the teams that are willing to take Harris are doing it to get Simmons. Not to see him go elsewhere. I think its really difficult to come up with a 3 team trade that satisfies everyone.

And soon Haliburton will be available

It seems he already is. Morey seems to want Fox instead, which is stupid.

I want no part of Harden.  He’s a loser.

If i were the nets I’d want Simmons but only really to flip him down the road in another trade down the road and possibly in the offseason. I actually think Harris, green, mcdaniels and Beverley would give them much better depth around kyrie and Durant. Plus Harris is actually a better fit along side Durant and kyrie. Problem is kyrie is missing games so Harris is then asked to do more than he should. Plus i doubt the nets want Harris on that contract unless they believe in the 2023 offseason they can use his expiring contract to trade and bring in another star. 

6ers and Hawks have discussed a Ben for Collins+ trade

It makes more sense cause it really lowers the leverage on the nets. Cause he could just leave and they get crap for him. Damn i think it’d be hilarious the sixers really stick it to the nets in an offseason trade using Harris and green in a sign and trade then use Ben in another deal to get more pieces. But that’s ultimate pipe dream. it likely would be Ben and green for harden type deal.

Trade Ben for Buddy, Haliburton and Barnes as patchwork.

Then tell the Nets to take Barnes and Buddy to take it, that is the pipedream.

Yeah that would be a really good pipe dream too. 

Just found out Ben’s not playing tonight.  I wonder if that means a trade is imminent.

Probably took the night off to work on his shot
