Prediction: Harden will be a New York Knick next season

[EH15]

With the cache of picks they've built, along with their young prospects, they will strike before the draft for Harden after the Rockets flame out in dramatic fashion. Edict will come from Frugal Fertitta himself. MDA will retire. Rockets will reboot. Knicks get their superstar to light New York abuzz.

Knicks now own:

2020 LAC 1st
2020 CHA 2nd
2021 right to swap 1st with LAC ( )
2021 DAL 1st
2021 CHA 2nd
2021 DET 2nd
2023 DAL 1st, top 10 protected

Combine with RJ, Robinson. There's a deal to be made there.

Wild man ok Hahha

[dirkforpres]

He should get traded...



For Embiid

[vxmike]

So they have three crappy 1sts from playoff contenders. That’s really not an impressive haul of picks.

[JB2]

I missed where RJ turned into Zion

[And1+2]

Here we go again...

[Tor_Raps]

Harden isnt washed up enough to be sent to the Knicks yet

[EH15]

Oop. Forgot to list NY's own picks, notably their 2020 1st, which is probably their most valuable asset ATM. Top 5 pick projected.

None of those picks are very good though. The LAC pick is going to be around 26-28 and the two Dallas picks are almost certainly going to be in a similar range. Now the Knicks own picks look lottery bound so they would be pretty good.

That said, nothing would be more ‘Knicks’ then trading their entire cache of young assets for a soon to be 31 year old James Harden. That move just screams ‘James Dolan’ as they’ve been making moves exactly like this one for about 25 years now.

You dont trade the leagues #1 scorer, former MVP and guy who gurantees you 50 wins a year and fills the arena. you keep shuffling until it works or he demands out

[SK21209]

I'm not sure when he leaves but I don't think Harden retires a Rocket.

[MoochieNorris]

pm me your dealer's number

[pr0wler]

Ok

[Oscirus]

Countdown till this becomes a clown the knicks and its fans thread in 3 2....

[Pelon chingon]

How long before the knicks lose their desire tho?

I thought the Rockets retool not reboot.

[Dr Spaceman]

Harden has always said it's a dream of his to team up with Julius Randle.

Prediction: you're wrong

[Swish1906]

Too bad the Clippers/Mavs picks dont have really that much value
