Rumor: Raptors and Celtics the two favorites for James Harden

[GreenFaith1819]

Is the "impeccable Source" Incarcerated Bob?

[Tr1boy]

Granato is a long time radio sports talk host in Houston

So legit or as legit as James Stewart sources?

[Tr1boy]

No chance Jaylen is traded for Harden. Zero.

Smart, kemba sure.

Smart, Kemba, Theis for Harden, Wood.

Not sure how it would pan out but  Harden, Brown, and Tatum would be exciting.  Not sure why Houston does but a non-Brown trade for Harden and Wood sounds good to me.

I can see HOU being very interested in Smart as a guard mate to Wall. Kemba would need to go to a 3rd team, like CHI, where they send HOU Lavine and WCJ.

Not buying the source and highly doubt that we could get Harden w/o including Brown, but it would be possible if another team was willing to give up major asset(s) for Kemba. I mean, on the surface, Kemba, Smart, and picks is a lot to give up; it's just that people are so down on Kemba's knee right now that the timing might not work out...and that's fine with me. I love Kemba and am happy to have his star power on the Cs.

Kemba is not going to bring back Lavine and wcj

Not this unhealthy version

[Birdman]

Can the trade exception be included in the trade?

[Phantom255x]

In all seriousness though, have we heard any sort of credible rumor about Harden to the C's in the last month?? I know we did before the Draft with the thought being Hayward involved in either the same or separate deal elsewhere, but since then?

We've heard it for the Sixers, for the Heat, for the Nets, even for the Raptors once. Not the Celtics.

I still think the C's have zero interest, and neither does Harden.

That's the thing about rumors and trades. It's usually the least expected/heard team that makes the kill. Like Hayward has always been rumored for Indy, Knicks or Atlanta...somehow ended up in Charlotte  I didn't think Westbrook would be going to Washington nor Paul George going to the Clippers. Perkins getting dealt to OKC for Nenad Krstic and Jeff Green too

Or Kyrie to Celtics

It was pretty left field

The Celtics would do this, can’t imagine Houston doing it. Smart-Harden-Tatum-Wood-Thompson could be a heck of a starting five.

[gouki88]

Kemba and Harden would be a bad fit together.

Would try and move Kemba for a big man if this were to go down. A three team deal involving Orlando (Vucevic) or New York (Randle and/or Robinson+) could be interesting.

Could also try and send him to Dallas for roleplayers

Isn't the profile picture on twitter of this source a cartoon of a man with a long Pinocchio nose.

Things that make you go...hmmmmm

why  in the world would the Rockets do that? Have you seen Wood play?

There would have to be some significant draft compensation going to Houston for them to look at it, given they have no picks for a long time.

Not sure why Brown is off the table

[GreenWarrior]

This is posturing. They're trying to get Philly to add more to the deal.

I assume we'll hear by Tues  or wed. That hardens been traded to philly

[SHAQATTACK]

Kemba and Harden would be a bad fit together.

true ....i would not think so either.

my guess he isn't in the picture if JH trade is in play. Kemba wii have to evaporate

Harden is scoring machine ,  if DA doesn't , then you know the Raptors GM is chomping at the bit .....AND if he does get Harden and destroys the east ....Ainge will be savaged by his critics and media .    Danny is in the hot seat .
