49ers..Braves..Celtics
:heh:
KD coming back from an achilles injury and Kyrie stay hurt, yet for some reason Harden would be the one playing 3rd fiddle?
Naaaaaah you have it wrong sir

We all know how that will work out, I wouldn't mind seeing that either. Kyrie plays his half season or so and KD being the nice guy that he is allows Harden to take the lead :mjlol:

The possibilities are funny as shyt

I believe Harden will get traded to the 76ers or Nuggets.

Just because Harden's preferred destination is Brooklyn does not mean he wouldn't accept a trade to Philly or Denver.

New rule: Any player who demands a trade must take a 25% pay cut (They need to work this into the new CBA)

You must be slow if you think the players union will agree to a pay cut for demanding a trade. Are players who get traded unwillingly gonna get a 25% raise??

Of course the players are not going to agree to it, but I would play hardball if I was an owner.

Houston did everything they could to win by giving up future draft picks and now Harden is demanding trade with multiple years left on his contract....fukk that, something needs to be done...I'm all for player empowerment but the fans and health of the franchise should be considered

New Rule ... Any player that gets traded after signing a long term deal with a team gets a 50% non-voidable pay raise (They need to work this into the new CBA)

When players get dealt, especially with big deals, they tend to have trade kickers built in. They're not 50%. They're more like 15%.

a 50% trade kicker would just keep teams from offering big time deals in the first place, especially when big time deals more often than not just wind up being fillers to make the money work.

Harden is 31 and only wants to go to a contender theres no reason for Denver to include all that.

Harris, Barton MPJ and maybe 1 first rounder would be plenty enough.

This would be great for the Nuggets but I think Denver would have to give up more for 3 reasons:

* The picks would be late first-rounders.
* A bidding war would increase the price for Harden.
* Houston would demand more from a western conference team

I know what a trade kicker is and its ramifications brutha and they're not included in all contracts ...hence the point of my post :francis:

If what Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson was saying is true, then they should’ve consulted Harden on the moves they made this off-season.
