Or maybe do a 3 way trade where Kyrie gets routed to New Orleans, Kemba to the Nets, and Jrue Holiday to the Celtics? I think you have what is now 3 years of data that shows that Celtics are more successful without kyrie vs with him... so no I would not trade for him. The three team trade is a meh but if we get a pick back I would do it.

Harden to the Nets needs to happen. My guess is those 3 won't last half a season trying to share the ball. And unless Houston management is drunk, the Nets will have to part with their future to get him. It will effectively wreck the franchise - again - for at least another 5 seasons.Philly on the other hand would concern me depending on what they would have to give up.
I cannot believe he turned down adding 2 years and 103 million to his contract.
Wonder how this makes KD and Kyrie's teammates feel, that the two co-coaches (Nash is just a figurehead) are conspiring to bring a 3rd co-coach in Harden to the Nets and working out which of them can be sent back to Houston.
Harden seems to be taking spoiled baby to new levels here. What exactly did Houston do to offend him so much? He had Russell Westbrook on his team. The guy averaged a triple double. This isn’t good enough? Holy moly. Just win. Stop complaining about not having a good enough team. It’s become a league of infants. Just give them gold plated diapers to play in next season. Ridiculous.
It would be pretty devastating if Ainge doesn’t try and get in on this. Harden is under contract for multiple years. Waiting around while other teams load up on top end talent will just mean it becomes a countdown until Tatum gets up and leaves for greener pastures. Cash in on Brown and Smart and see what Houston thinks. It will be incredibly difficult for Cs should he go to Brooklyn or god forbid the 76ers. Harden/Embiid would be a nightmare.
