In speaking with Complex’s “Load Management” podcast, Shams Charania said the Nets were not willing to include Caris LeVert in a trade for Jrue Holiday last month because Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving “view Caris LeVert as a very significant part of this team.”
“Brooklyn looked into it, but they obviously didn’t want to trade a guy like Caris LeVert for Jrue Holiday. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving view Caris LeVert as a very significant part of this team.”
The Athletic writer also said he does not see any Rockets’ interest in trading James Harden to any team “in the next month,” that in fact Houston hasn’t even engaged in detailed discussions ... and that includes the Nets.
“Brooklyn, there’s not the pieces on that team to get a deal done that Houston would feel is applicable for a guy like James Harden.” Charania told Zach “Chopz” Frydenlund, Adam Caparell, and Zion Olojede. In general, he said “talks never progressed” between Rockets and any team. Houston doesn’t want to trade Harden, but if they have to, they want a “star level or high level rotation player” plus multiple first round picks and swaps.

Welp. We will run with what we have.
I still say we should have traded for Covington.

They can forget "star level." Unless it involves toxic contracts, stars don't get traded for stars. "High level rotation player" is very vague.

I wouldnt have made that Covington deal. i think he is being enormously overrated. he is an excellent role player and 3&D wing/F but he isnt a DPOTY type or some unreal shooter. id rather wait for something better, even if we cant swing it.

He won't be asked to carry the load offensively and will be off the ball if he is in the starting five. I think he needs to lock in on being a defender. No excuse for him not to be a factor on the defensive end and taking on the better match up between him and Joe. KD will be defending the 4 spot.
