Not necessarily advocating for this (Tatum is my favorite active player), but even the poison pill can be dealt with so long as we can move Kemba:

To BOS: Harden, Rozier, Martin Jr.
To NOP: Walker
To CHA: Ball, Bledsoe, Green
To HOU: Tatum, CHA 2021 1st

https://tradenba.com/trades/mcgup0gjb

Outcome:

Harden/Teague/Pritchard/Edwards
Smart/Rozier/Langford
Brown/Nesmith/Martin Jr.
Theis/Ojeyele/G. Williams
TT/R. Williams

Note: Only Teague and Ojeyele would not be under contract in 2021-2022.

Question: Good enough to win it all? Add a ring-chasing vet? The upside is we’re getting Harden without losing any future picks and all but one young player, albeit our best one by far. The downside is it might not result in a championship and Harden might walk in two years, in which case we’ve lost Tatum and have to build everything around Brown (after tonight, I’m starting to believe he might become better than Tatum...major mea culpas may be in line from me to some of you). That said, Jokic will be on the market in 2023 if Harden walks, and perhaps one of our younger players will develop into an all-star.

So you are suggesting a trade, but you don’t advocate for it. You lost me.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Absolutely ridiculous. So, Tatum had the highest plus rating of everyone tonight and here comes this bs after it and a win. This is getting really stale. I know people won’t care, but I am close to vanishing from this site. I am just sick and tired of the insanity.

I love Tatum and he is my favorite player but here is a trade proposition to get rid of him. I am calling BS when I see it and this takes BS to a whole other level.

We'd be one piece short if we trade Walker and Tatum for Harden, the value is there but I won't do it.
Jaylen Brown for All-NBA

Someone else suggested it and I wanted to see if it could be done. I’d say I’m 60-40 against it, but if we’re hovering around the 8th seed at the deadline I might flip those numbers. Tatum is my favorite active player, but James Harden is the best offensive player in the game today and might be what we need to win our next title before the Lakers.

I will say this: I care more about players who win us titles than players who do not. I do not want to see the Lakers surpass us for most titles. Not this year. Not next. Not ever. If I knew this trade would guarantee preventing the Lakers from surpassing us, I’d pull the trigger.

Tonight, Brown played lights out.

So now, the trade guinea pig has to be Tatum for Harden.

Silly.
even in sillyworld this is silly.
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.
