Having already moved Norm Powell and CJ McCollum, Portland is still engaged in conversations with Detroit on acquiring forward Jerami Grant, sources said.
They going for a quick rebuild

Considering Grant’s contract and playing style demands, this sounds like they are getting out of one bad cap situation and walking straight into another.

If fits what he is looking for. He wants to be high usage on offense. They can build a solid team if they can find a 2a kinda guy and let grant be 2b offensively.

They need to find another defensively versatile wing player for when Dame is healthy.
I’m not sure they run Dame and Simons as the starting back court duo….depending on how much they pay him, he should be ideal for a 6th man role.
If they can bring in Grant and another 3&D wing, then their starting lineup is decent. Maybe Little takes a step forward.
PG Dame
SG Hart
SF Little
PF Grant
C Nurkic

James Harden is pushing for a trade to Philadelphia, per Brian Windhorst
"I can't tell you how much James Harden wants this..
He is screaming in every way he possibly can 'I don't want to be here, get me out of here.'"?? (h/t @RealGM )
Just like Raja said on a podcast a few days ago...
At some points it's you. If you're always the guy who's unhappy and wanting out because of this or that, you are "this or that."

What do you mean always wanting out? 2 times isn’t “always” breadie. This isn’t what BKN sold him on when he chose to go there.

You're right..sort of. I've been married 12 years so I should know better than the speak in absolutes 
But you can't deny that this is becoming a trend. Forcing his way out on 2 of the 3 teams he's played for is not a good look Boom. Even if I misspoke when I said "always," the rest of my point remains.
Last year I was impressed with Harden as he seemed to make some sacrifices and, to many, looked like the adult in the room over there. Found myself rooting for him. But in the NBA I tend to root for the Pels and whoever isn't a self-absorbed a-hole. Disappointed he's doing this again. Arent you....even just a little?

This is all on Irving if we being honest. When you are on a team and you are committed to winning, and you have someone making what Kai is making who lacks that commitment, it is easy to want a situation where people put the team and winning first.

This could not be more true. Kyrie deserves more criticism than anyone, BUT........you definitely dodged my question at the end.
Can you not admit that the optics of this are bad and that it's not great for a player to force his way off of a team less than two years since he forced his way off of another team?
Also, you've stated that Harden wants off the Nets because his co-starts are hurt and/or not playing. Some of us have poked holes in that logic referencing Joel's availability history.
Your reply to that was that Philly has a better team for Harden to play with even when Embiid is out, but that will not necessarily be that case post trade. The Nets are asking for Matisse Thybulle and Tyrese Maxey to also be a part of the trade.
Philly without Embiid, Thybull, Maxey, and Simmons aren't winning even with Harden.

Joe is healthy now, and playing the best ball of his career. Perfect time to make that move. To me Jojo Is the best player in the nba as of today.
It is bad optics yes but only because a lot of people don’t take the time to dig in and see the WHY with this.

The Utah Jazz are acquiring guard Portland’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker and the Spurs’ Juancho Hernangomez in a three-way deal, sources tell ESPN. The Spurs gets guard Tomas Satoransky and a second-round pick, and the Blazers get Joe Ingles, Elijah Hughes and a second-round pick.
Ingles not being on the Jazz feels wrong

Portland sheds more future salary.
That's a great situation for NAW, being with the Jazz is much better for him than Portland. Happy for him.

That's a copout.
Harden and Durant are supposed to be 2 top-5 players in the league. They shouldn't need Kyrie to be a championship team.

Completely off topic, but as a guy in my 30s, not married and wanting to keep my money mine... what is to the break up?

Don’t quote me on this but I don’t think harden is too happy with KD babying Irving. But from what I can gather that is likely the case.

Kinda disagree in this case because Kyrie half-timing throws a wrench in everything. Harden's clock is ticking and Kyrie is wasting his time.

Sorry, it's probably me being dumb, but I don't understand the question. What are you asking here?
