Rumor: Houston/Nets trade

[tstorey_97]

I hope they do it and we can watch it.

At GSW KD saw how to build a winner.

At Cavs Kyrie watched Lebron build a winner.

At the Nets we're watching those guys not build a defense. Maybe they will, but, Rox and OKC have just scored lots of points over the years and that isn't how you win and I know this because they didn't.

Brooklyn -James Harden

Houston- Jarrett Allen, Spencer Dinwiddle, Taurean Prince & Caris LaVert

In my opinion, this be a great deal for Houston..get 4 young starters and maybe more if they trade Westbrook..I just don’t see Harden fitting in with the Nets

So let me get this straight. Dinwiddie recruits Kyrie to join the Nets.   If not recruit, at least tries to entice him to join

Fast forward to today,  because Harden wants to join the team ... ship Dinwiddie out?   

If this happens,  what is the point of Nets GM position?

Wasn't IT4 still recruiting guys to come here while Ainge was making the Kyrie deal?

Yup.  It was a low move by Ainge if you ask me.   Good business move but...

AD father blocked a trade to the Celts just because of that reason I believe

That's crap, by that time AD was already a clutch sports player and it was just a tactic to stop Ainge for making an offer to the Pelicans. I was so happy that AD didn't come here because he is a by product of the modern NBA star who has been hyped since before college. They essentially live in a bubble and get catered for by people around them like little children so they really never develop a personality or real character. I remember watching an interview years back with AD on Jimmy Kimmel and you could just tell he had nothing going on upstairs, and by that I don't mean book smarts but a personality or values he was passionate about, it was like watch an ugly supermodel getting interviewed. I was also disgusted by the way he left New Orleans wearing that 'that's all folks' shirt and not even copping to it being a person mistake rather 'the guy that dresses me chose it'.

We made the Kyrie deal well after free agency, so no. It was shortly after he helped recruit Hayward, though

KG is some kind of rabble rouser though...first he's involved in Kyrie leaving the Celtics for the Nets, now he's trying to steal Harden from the Rockets.

Woj is reporting Harden turned down a 2 yr $103/m extension and is adamant about joining Nets.

$51.5/m a yr wow

An amount equated to frustration - present and future. I believe no amount from Houston would deter him from leaving or trying to request management to move him to Brooklyn.
