Rockets rather cut Denver out and take Ben.

One of the only Ben trades I would do.

Denver seriously overpaying for Simmons.

Philly can’t get porter and harden.

rockets can get better return from 8 teams.

Phili gets the best player and best prospect in the trade?

Take out Hampton, Bol, or Denver’s first, and move Porter to Houston. That seems a lot closer.

Ok I gave y’all two days to comment so let’s see where we are now.

@Psiphon: if you cut Denver out of the trade, Philly will not receive equal value. They will overpay for Harden and that's why No trade has been done.

@SMunro: thank you for your support. All the trades I have seen also undervalue Ben’s worth. (IMO)

@Fredman: Do you really think it’s an overpay? Ben makes any team with two stars already, Championship worthy. Mainly bcoz he does all the dirty work (Reb and Defend) plus he scores in the open court.

@Shiller: Philly gives up an allstar and a defensive minded young hood talent. The reason they received both is bcoz the help Denver receive its third star to dominate and they give Houston cap relief and the young talent stated above. Houston also gets a shooting guard from Denver to replace Harden with Thybulle and more.

Philly receives Harden and Porter Jr bcoz ALSO, Harden can opt out of his contract next year and bcoz a free agent. So Porter Jr covers them in case that happens and also bcoz they give up a 2021 Pick that they would use to replace Harden if he leaves.

If I didn’t REPLY to your comments, it’s bcoz it’s ALREADY STATED in my explanations above, or I have seen your “body of work” in here on trades and I know your not SERIOUS like the rest of us are about how our teams can truly better themselves AND Plus, STAY COMPETITIVE.

Thank you for you guy's honest opinions! Keep them coming.!
