I think the Rockets won't even consider this trade unless Jaylen Brown is included.


Lowball what? There wasn’t even a offer stated.


Yeah, you are right. I didn't read that it was Woj or Shams who came out with trade tweet.

Not this 'Scoop' Robinson who I never heard of.

Finally.. show some balls Ainge instead of being a sneaky rat. Use your picks and make splash. Take a chance!
Boston can easily beat whatever junk the NETs will offer up.

I'd give up Brown as part of a Harden package without even thinking about it twice


I'd rather have this than the Nets crappy 1+1+1 /= 3 package. At least Jaylen Brown is a young, all-star quality player. Celtics finally get the top tier shot creator they've been missing the past few years.

If you told me 2 weeks ago we’d be discussing rumours about Boston trying to get Harden I’d laugh at you.
Gotta love the off season ...

Boston needs to go for it - stop pussyfooting around, sometimes you have to go all-in to win just like the Lakers did with AD. Put your chips on the table and go for it.

Some would argue that Brown is on a very good deal though.

I'll be SHOCKED if Ainge can pull it off for once. Harden is BRK bound.

Def. Not speaking to you specifically, but I do find it somewhat amusing how everyone b****es and complains about Harden...but when given the chance to play for their given team, suddenly the interest level skyrockets lol

I don't like it that much as the benefit of Boston's approach is a balanced attack. You've got a balanced usg% ( I assume, haven't looked it up) for their top 4 scorers and it allows the offense to adapt based on who's hot on a given night.

Harden will take everyone's touches and you're going to see a lot of guys going cold.

That being said, if you can get it done without giving up an arm and a leg you gotta go for it. Most I'd give up is Brown. Tatum untouchable.


Yeah but Harden lead a team of glorified role players to a Top 2 offense for 3 straight seasons While I don't disagree with the subjective analysis, the objective stats say otherwise. Boston is arguable the #1 offense in the league if Harden joins.

Franchise player doesn't want to be part of Celtics because of Ainge. They know they will just be part of their war chest of assets. Stars won't forget what they did to IT. AD's dad even told them that they can trade for their his son but he will never re-signed with Boston.

That was just an excuse so Boston would back out of the deal. As soon as AD signed with Klutch their was only one place he was going to end up.

Brown, Smart and some picks? Would that be enough?

Nice trade for the Rockets for sure, not sure if Celts would go for that.

Swap Smart for Hayward and maybe a deal gets done.

Jaylen Brown would be the gem in this deal for the Rockets. Throw in the FRPs and Hayward's expiring contract and the Rockets should run with this.
