Yet you would sit here and say that Middleton is an underpay, which is why I didn’t even bother to answer you before because I’ll just get pissed at the double standard

?? You're literally a clone of Hako in terms of saltiness
I don't even know what the fuck that even means

It looked like I had Middleton's cock down my throat just a couple months ago when someone tried comparing Tobias fricken Harris to him....

And since you already brought it up, Middleton, 29, as the centerpiece for a star is laughable........an initial Celtics package would start with Jaylen and you're offering Middleton.....like, you have to be trolling in thinking a package with Middleton wouldn't be underpay

One last thing, no where does it mention that I believe Harden would be traded for either.....so, nice job assuming on that as well



Just comparing playstyles and effort, I don't see James being that guy. He's a ballhog who LOVES the spotlight and it's shinning brighter than ever atm

I believe he'll be going HAM and we are actually going to see a little different type of play from Harden as he tries to get himself traded

Classic Corey

I believe the Celtics do have the assets to trade for Harden, my doubt lies with Ainges willingness to let go of whatever it is Houston wants. I understand completely that Tatum would be a non starter. Something like Brown and Smart is a fair starting point given that Houston wants to be competitive this year rather than tank & rebuild completely.

In my opinion Middleton is more valuable to compete this year than Brown. Other pieces would be involved in that trade to send additional assets to Houston. The clown fiesta media claiming that Middleton + Jrue + Donte is an underpay for Harden is absurd, when compared to all the other deals covered in the media. Such as Herro + fillers or Dinwiddie Levert + fillers or Brown + Smart and fillers

Simmons + 3 firsts is less valuable than Middleton + Jrue + Donte considering that all 3 of those firsts would project as late round picks

Celtics def have assets to acquire Harden but I think it’s clear by now that this is Jaylen and Tatum’s team. It doesn’t seem like Smart is on the table atm but he’s obviously not untouchable. But Ainge will never package Smart and Brown. Ainge also mentioned “building around the 3 guys we have”....def not talking about Kemba.

That Middleton package is totally fair value but....

The Rockets wont get better trading Harden...compete? That would be rebuild...
Wall-Jrue-Middleton-Wood-Whoever. That’s not winning nothing. 3 guys already hitting 30.
Def not winning anything over Clippers or Lakers or whoever comes out the East with whatever they get for Harden.
Lose Jrue the following year and you traded Harden for 30 year Middleton at 35 million and Donte when you’re supposed to get multiple 1sts and a player such as Herro or Levert...or even a guy like Simmons or JB for multiple years.

Lmao Herro and Levert are not better assets than Middleton, you’re overrating them by a long shot

Late firsts are trash. 2 late firsts are like a low tier role player

Silver fined for tampering for the preseason schedule

James Harden has never missed the playoffs. Eleven seasons in the league, eleven trips to the postseason. That is the longest playoff streak to begin a career among active players. C.J. McCollum is next at seven.
