I think they would give up Powell but I'm not sure Philly wants his contract. Absent in that article is Zu, which I hope they won't trade.

I doubt Zu is going anywhere unless it’s for Dame while getting Nurkic back. This would be okay with me as I think Nurkic is better than Zu anyway. Philly just resigned Harrell and doesn’t need Zu and I doubt we’re giving him away for a possible Harden rental. If a third team gets involved we’d need a center back.

Brandon Boston Jr. could be the reason why James Harden has not been moved yet, per @thesteinline "The 76ers front office has a trade deal in mind that the Clippers don’t agree with. Within that package is 2nd year guard Brandon Boston who the Clippers are refusing to give up” Well that's just silly. Why would Clippers hold up on BBJ, who we refuse to play?

Interestingly, expiring contracts (which we have) are now more valuable than they used to be with the second tax apron issues.

It's been pretty quiet here. Some talk that Philly is trying to get him to stay another year and that Harden wants to be traded still, but it's not a "demand". Apparently, there's not much of a market with most teams knowing he wants to be extended for the max next year. I think what set him off initially is that Philly did not offer that to him. I'm sure if we made a good offer they'd take it, but it's feeling a little less certain of happening if he's open to returning there.

Forget Harden for now. Looks like if we don’t get Harden we going to next season w same squad except Kj.
Boston has interest in Morris Sr but need a 3rd team.

I get their perspective, but I think Morey values Harden higher than most other teams. Houston didn't even want him back even though he wanted to go back. And apparently, they could have traded their Simmons plus picks package to Sacramento for Haliburton but Morey went for Harden instead. It's a sunk cost now though, I don't think he's getting the mega offer they want. I also think he might be ok just making Harden come back and either sit or just walk at the end of the year knowing most of the good teams prob can't take him into cap space anyway.

Maybe Harden will hold out and we can watch the Ben Simmons II clownshow pfrom afar.

There aren't any other bidders and we shouldn't be giving up OUR draft picks or Mann to rent Harden for a year. We shouldn't be giving away keepers if he isn't one. He's spent and average of 9 months with his last two teams before demanding out.

It’s going to be Morris Sr, Coffey, Boston Jr & Powell.

It’s going to be Morris Sr, Coffey, Boston Jr & Powell. I'd be OK with that. It will hurt some scoring to give up Powell but KJ Martin and RoCo can make up that on the bench, and of course Harden makes it up even more.
