Like I said I figured it isn't likely. All you really have to do is trade Milsap and Plumlee and you've cleared over $40 million, but again, I could never see Lebron playing in Denver.

As for the other two, I don't agree that Lillard is overrated, I just think he needs a different piece other than CJ and 8 role players. He puts up great numbers in the regular season, and if you're gonna throw him into the choking in the playoff camp, you have to also admit that DeRozan, Westbrook, and Harden are overrated. I think that both DeRozan and Westbrook are overrated, but Harden is someone I cant say is overrated.

Harden is very overrated imo. People talk about this guy like he's Kobe Bryant, which is just ridiculous to me, and I say that as someone who never particularly cared for Kobe. Harden is completely lethargic on defense, to the point where it's frankly embarrassing. His game is predicated more on baiting you into fouls, and getting to the free throw line, than actually making shots. He completely disappears whenever you need him most. And perhaps most importantly….he just strikes me as not really caring all that much. I mean when you look at how he went out last year to the Spurs…..for him to be out partying later that night, getting his jersey hung up at a strip club, etc......I mean that is just weak. I'm sorry, but I can't respect you as a competitor after that. Maybe that's an indictment of me more so than him, that I would begrudge someone being able to just instantly move on after something like that, and get on with his summer, have a good time or whatever. Maybe. Maybe that's my problem. But damn it, I want people to want it bad, and be hurting bad when they come up that short. I wanna see them get pissed, or disappear to a quiet, determined place, looking to come back and light the world on fire. If you're out there partying it up the night after you get bounced, and you looked like a bum? Man. You can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned.

I'd don't care if Lillard had himself a bad series this year, I'd take him any day over Harden.

 

I mean look at this dude: https://streamable.com/ain57

Game 7 of a WCF, and this guy is giving zero fucks. No thanks to all that

I understand completely and somewhat mildly agree. I never view Harden as say Kobe material because Kobe is in my top 3 all time (1.MJ 2.Kobe 3.Kareem). If I would compare Harden to anyone I would say he's an inferior version of Clyde Drexler. That being said, I don't know if I would take Lillard over Harden purely because even when Harden is bad he gets 25-30, but I will take Lillard over Westbrook.

I did question Harden's mentality when he was smiling after game 7, but he's top 10 in the league to me. Lillard and Westbrook are more Top 15-20.
