If James Harden wanted to come here, would you sign him to w/e his max is?
I mean, he wouldn’t. Word on the street is he wants to be in Houston because he likes the city which couldn’t be more different than Salt Lake.

That's the rumor, but who knows if it's actually true.

Its a rumor... reported by Woj... multiple times... in random scenarios... his group wants it out there likely for leverage against Philly. If they call his bluff I'm sure he's cool going to Houston.
We will see. I find it kind of hard to believe he wants to play with *that* roster, but I wouldn't be shocked.
IT as in Isaiah that he was cutthroat with dealing him after putting his career on the line with his injury or IT as in Pennywise literally cutting throats? Both applications work.
I really dont think the IT situation was that cutthroat. He traded him to a team with Lebron James, spare me the sob story. He has his own agency on if he played injured or not.
The number 3 is worth 4 to 6 picks. Taking on Nurkic's salary should be worth 2 picks. Kessler is worth 1.5 picks. Kelly Olynyk is with .5.picks.
I would offer Kessler, KO, Gay + the Lakers pick + Quality pick for Nurkic + Scoot. The Blazers might consider because it makes their salary situation better and they get quality play from the center spot and quality draft capital.

Saying taking on Nurkics contact is worth two picks is absolutely insane imo. He's declined, but it's only 17/18/19mil over the next three seasons. He's had injury concerns and lost a lot of athleticism for a bit now but he's still a 28-year old solid starting center on a fine contract.
