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

Yeah, nope again Lillard is extremely overrated like I said before he got outplayed by Rondo in the playoffs and Rondo is nowhere near his prime and maybe has one or two good years left in his career.  That being said I take Rondo next season over Lillard any day of the week.  And I take playoff Rondo over playoff Lillard no matter what other players are on my team.  Regular season Rondo is still better then  Lillard and playoff Rondo is ten times better then Lillard.

Yeah, nope Lillard is extremely overrated he got outplayed Rondo in playoffs who isn't exactly anywhere near his prime anymore and totally embarrassed by the entire Pelican team in the first round since they where the only team that got swept.

It's not even so much about Lillard, though I do like him overall (like I said, he had a poor series….very poor even), I just REALLY dislike Harden. 

He had a poor career so far period and like I said before is highly overrated.  I guess Harden has to win a title shut up all the haters but I take Harden over Lillard easily.  He just needs to adjust his game in the playoffs a bit to be more effective because its harder to get foul calls in the playoffs.  That being said he got way farther in the playoffs this year then Lillard will more then likely ever get in his entire career.  Out of the team in the West that made the playoffs OKC will drop off the most and Portland will drop off the second both should miss the playoffs next season.
