I loved the standing ovation for Boban

Of course Danny Green missed that shot... 

Doc Rivers has nothing for that zone 

Harris had 6 ir 7 points in the first few minutes. 

The basket broke and he ended with 13.

That was a nice stall tactic to cool him off.

Okc may be willing to accept a 1st round pick to absorb Harris contract if we look to pursue Harden as a free agent in the summer.

Not sure what we could get back from them. He's too good to just dump for nothing in return. 

The ability to clear cap space to threaten Brooklyn with just signing Harden in the off-season should undercut most leverage they have. If the Nets know Morey has found a deal to move Tobias and free that cap space for the off-season, that would explain their new found willingness to talk about a Harden trade. Basically the 6ers would be paying something extra now to have Harden for this season’s run instead of waiting for the off-season.

The Nets dealing Harden now tells Durant they are done with that experiment and he is gonna have to run with bench players the rest of the season and ( Simmons). I don't see the Nets doing that, I think they see this through and try to get a championship with Harden on their roster. Then blow it up in the summer.

Irving is still there and if Harden is expressing Interest in leaving now is the time to get a defensive All pro and guy under contract for a few years 

 

So what's the chances of this Harden trade?

Durant wants Harden to stay.

Supposedly Harden has been saying he wants to stay.

He’s not going anywhere

Yeah.  Probably not this season anyway. Nets aren't going to piss off Durant 

Good, don’t want Harden. 

Harden and Embiid would be unstoppable.  But it’s not happening.  Hopefully they trade Simmons for some decent role players and add some depth.  Otherwise it’s another wasted season of Embiid’s prime.

Morey needs to trade Simmons in the next few days and just take the best deal he can get.  I think most of us will be incredibly disappointed if he doesn’t.

Harden is an enigma to me, but obviously Morey likes him.  I mean, he was the centerpiece of Morey’s Rockets team.

So glad the Sixers brass doesn't listen to the impatient crowd.  Many if not most fans understand that there are long term ramifications at stake, so the team needs to get it right - not get it done before the trade deadline for the sake of getting it done before the trade deadline.

Oh, and seeing Simmons bleed money at this stage is just an added bonus.

What makes you think he will be more attractive after not playing at all?  Just the contract?

It's easier to get a deal done in the offseason when there are contracts expiring for one thing.

There are teams droolling at the prospect of landing Simmons.  That's not changing.

Well, I disagree with the folks who think we can’t compete for a title this year.  With the right player/players in a trade they’ll be in the mix (assuming Embiid stays healthy of course).
