If I thought like Pat Riley I wouldn’t give up Herro for Harden either

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
The Rockets insist (for now) they will not trade Harden. The Sixers insist (for now) they will not trade Ben Simmons

But sources say the familiarity between the front offices can ultimately defuse any lingering tension from Daryl Morey's departure from Houston to Philadelphia

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
As the NBA preseason begins tonight Philadelphia ranks as the most likely destination when the Rockets eventually reach the point of trading James Harden, league sources say

So what’s gonna happen, if I’m Houston I’m not trading him.

Do we have a Kawhi 2017-2018 season on our hands? Fake a lingering injury & not play the whole year..

I don’t think Harden can live without the spotlight. Make him blink first Houston!

If James Harden can land the Rockets either Ben Simmons, Kyrie Irving or Tyler Herro...
Which one of those three players would you rather have? Herro turns 21 years old soon.

Looks like Tyler Herro could be included in a James Harden deal after all.

Also NBA scouts around the league believe a James Harden trade will come down to Ben Simmons or Tyler Herro.
I love both young players to be honest. Miami's trade package could be an amazing haul. I guess we'll find out.

At this point I'm taking the best trade package. If the 76ers want James Harden then prove it! Otherwise that Miami Heat offer could be the greatest one on the table. I haven't seen the Bucks' proposed trade. I also heard there could be a mystery team in the Harden sweepstakes. Somebody told me it's the Denver Nuggets. What do they have to offer?

Both Ben Simmons and Tyler Herro would be fun to watch playing with John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Christian Wood.
I'm really torn. Not sure which one I'd want more. It would be a no brainer if Simmons could shoot. Elite defense though.

Not giving up Simmons unless the team implodes during the season.

Could have just said

Sixers should absolutely not give up Simmons

You will give up Ben Simmons and you will like it! James Harden on the 76ers may reach the NBA Finals.
