Rockets clearly don't want to contend anymore and their owner is the worst. Unfortunately that means Harden will have to spend a whole season unhappy with the Rockets before getting traded. Nets still should keeps their assets for him before the next trade deadline but yeah, most likely, Rockets won't grant his wish and they might regret that later because his value will be less I believe or their lockeroom will be a huge mess.

The problem is, the only assets that we really have are LeVert and future 1sts. Dinwiddie is an expiring and Allen will be a RFA. I've given up on this even happening.
Dinwiddie might very well be a target for contenders or playoffs teams next offseason, and many of them won't have the cap to outright sign Dinwiddie. This would allow Houston (or whichever team) to sign & trade him for assets. So that is something worth keeping in mind. Also if Schroder's expiring can get a late first, Dinwiddie has more value than Schroder.therealbig3 wrote:Dinwiddie as an expiring is a valuable asset imo, especially for a rebuilding team that's looking for cap relief. If not, I'm sure there are teams around the league that would love to have a player like Dinwiddie for a late-season push, and are willing to give up a 1st rounder for him. Or, a team that's looking for cap space and is willing to trade someone with 2 years left making similar money to Dinwiddie. That gives us an expiring contract to trade for the next season.
Allen being a RFA means that whoever has him can easily retain him long-term and can lock in a 22-year old center on the cusp of being an All-Star, OR can sign and trade him for more assets. There will definitely be people interested in Allen and are willing to give up legit assets for him, so he's still a really valuable piece. The fact that he's a backup this season though hurts his value.
But still, I don't see how our "assets" lose all that much value if we wait til the deadline. Whether we trade them now or later...Dinwiddie is still seen as an expiring contract, Allen is still seen as a RFA, and Levert is still the main piece in the deal in terms of someone being there long-term.

It would seem to be a preparatory move, so that a press conference could occur immediately since the quarantine period has already been fulfilled. Oh, this would be a dream.

In reality, Fetitta would rather go bankrupt than trade him to Morey after he snaked him.
Your GM literally said he was stepping away to spend time with his family. And then 2 weeks later signing with the Sixers and prevented the Rockets from getting any compensation.
You think Fertitta wants to reward him James Harden?
Keep dreaming.
