Respect, Tobias. A gold quote, some solid and logical points, and wanting no parts of dad’s insane comments, lol. Well done.

Tobias Harris hopes to stay in Philly, but knows ‘casual Sixers fans, they’ll trade me for a Crumbl Cookie’

Problem with Tobias as I see it, is he’s really a 4th guy on a champion level team but he makes way more money than a well built roster can afford to pay a #4.

He's still dead to me. LOL!!!

Am I remembering it right that his dad was a major reason why he picked Tennessee?

If so, his INSANE comments on Tobias’ ability line right up, lol.

He could’ve fit right in on this board with Tommy D’s dad, lol.

I met Tobias at a meet and greet reception at Barclays Center before the 2019 NBA draft. Hit him with a Go Cuse on the way out. Seemed like a nice guy.

I’ve always liked him - I’ve probably grabbed him on my fantasy team at least 6-7 seasons of his career, lol.

Man, he would’ve fit in well here. That was when we were really rolling and our forwards always got better every year and developed into bigtime players.

The trade rules are fairly complex. You can read this article and not fully understand it. The part Clipper's fans need to comprehend is the Hawks didn't want any assets back. That limited their trading partners on who could absorb the Collins salary. This basically was like a free agent signing by the Jazz.

NBA Trade Rules To Know As Trade Season Opens

It matters if a team is a taxpayer or a non-taxpayer when it comes to an NBA trade. Keith Smith explains the rules as the NBA trade season opens.

There’s definitely a steep learning curve with this new CBA. Now people are freaking out because the Clips waived Eric Gordon, a move that will save them over ONE-HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Not to mention open up playing time for Mann, Hyland, and Boston.

Simply put, you can’t pay guys like Gordon and Powell $20 million to come off the bench in today’s climate.

Absolutely read this post as Dr. Evil at a certain point.

Speaking of which, Jordan Clarkson opted in on his contract option, which surprised many Jazz fans.

If this is referring to Harden and the Knicks then please god know. I actually enjoyed watching the Knicks last year… won’t watch it Harden is on that team.

 

[Cusefan0307]

The Knicks getting an over the hill Harden with Brunson on the team would be peak Knicks.

Sounds like it’s Knicks vs. Clippers. Guessing the Clips’ package would include Powell and Morris.

I’m not sure how I feel about this.

Nah it was more referring to the Harden trade talks in general. I would not really be a fan of them going for Harden. Though if they could get off that RJ contract...

Yeah, I don’t think Harden will work out with the Clippers, however the move solves the org’s CBA problem overnight. Either they win it all or get rid of Leonard, George, and Harden next offseason, leaving them well under the cap and ready to reload.

Feels like this likely ends Philly’s time as a contender. They’ll be fortunate if this doesn’t cost them Embiid too.

Don't worry, those CAA connections will come to fruition at any time now - Booker, Mitchell, KAT, etc. They are just lining up.

Harden playing for Thibs...I see that working out...

Pretty sure this is a smokescreen just to give a sense of urgency, because you are right, it isn't working in NY with Harden.

I don’t see him going to the Heat either. Morey’s trying to get the Clippers to negotiate against themselves. He wants Mann.
