[QUOTE=brothertona;16865584]I wonder if it is Irving plus picks or Prince, Shamet, Allen, and Levert plus picks.[/QUOTE]

Levert is so valuable to have as a bench leader or starter if required, he'd go great as a starter in Houston but I don't want him to go, nor Allen.
As a Nets fan since they got Allen, this trade would upset me greatly - giving away depth AND talent for a cancer like Harden.

Someone finally called Harden out for his BS.

Feels like Harden is tanking purposefully to force a trade.

He has this whole time. But last night’s game was just pathetic. Never seen a professional athlete try less.

Stick Harden & Kyrie on a new expansion team.

Replacing Collins for Simmons now means that they'd have Simmons and Capela starting in the frontcourt... bad spacing.

Trae-??-Hunter-Simmons-Capela is good but idk. Bogdan is out for a while likely, so now we'd be stuck without shooting. Unless they put Gallo at PF and slide Hunter to the 2. Still feels light to me, plus you're banking on Hunter maintaining his really good numbers/shooting.

For how the Hawks seem to want to play and with how Schlenk has been seemingly very strong on gaining depth during a Covid-season, doesn't feel like this trade is the home-run type of deal they'd want if getting rid of 3 guys.

It's done

Suns/Hawks cancelled tonight, thanks to contract tracing for Suns when they met the Wizards

Full deal:
Brooklyn’s acquiring James Harden in a three-way deal with Cleveland. Caris LeVert, Dante Exum, Rodions Kurucs, four 1st round picks – including Cavs’ 2022 first via Bucks -- and 4 Nets pick swaps to Rockets. Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince to Cavs.

I feel like the Nets really didn't even need Harden to be a real contender, but we'll see what they gave up

And immediately afterwards

My wish is for him to be booed incessantly.

Can't believe Houston doesn't even receive Allen. Harden really did tank his value.

I like the Allen addition to the young core in Cleveland. Adds some defense with Okoro to the offensive punch of Sexton/Garland

Final deal:

Rockets: Victor Oladipo, Dante Exum, Rodions Kurucs, 3 BKN first-rounders (22, 24, 26), 1 MIL first (22, unprotected), 4 BKN 1st round swaps (21, 23, 25, 27)

Nets: James Harden

Pacers: Caris LeVert, 2nd-rounder

Cavs: Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince

All of the picks and pick swaps are unprotected.

Like the deal for the Cavs.. Didn't give up much, but Allen could be part of the long term solution.

The Cavs are by far the winners in this deal, they give up an extra 1st rounder and get a stud center. I thought the Nets would move Kyrie here, there goes that championship window now.

Wish I identified this behavior sooner, could have hammered the under props for him.

You figure the Cavs are likely moving Javale or Drummond soon.

Houston winds up with a handful of magic beans in this deal.

The 4 swaps may never happen.

The 4 picks may never wind up to be lottery selections.

The 3 players they got don't make them competitive now.
