After last night I have no doubt that Philly would take MF + Isaac for Harden and Green. To keep Harden happy we would just need to give the man some money 2/80M?

Upgrade MF for a 2 year rental and a cap space holder in Harden. I love Isaac but he’s fooled me before.

Two years from now try and turn Harden and picks into Donovan Mitchell.

Look this team has some serious chemistry, and that doesn’t seem to be Harden’s strong point, but if Fultz is still Fultz and 35 games is a possibility for Isaac.

I am willing to assume JI’s Healh issues are behind him, and I am sure the FO has a good idea. I’d say A motivated Harden gives us an outside chance of a conference championship in the next two seasons, with a path to upgrade later. If Isaac stayed healthy Philly might be the biggest obstacle, Boston and Milwaukee look vulnerable to me, Lillard or KP miss time all bets are off.

imo, JI is our X Factor this year and his health and consistency can really make the difference for us this year.

Another one is Fultz. He just need to stay aggressive but that is not his job.

I want us to entertain the idea of Harden. But not at the expense of those two.

I wouldn't want Harden for Okeke and the Denver pick. Hard no.
