Jalen Rose thinks a James Harden trade won’t happen until the offseason. He believes Kevin Durant is telling Harden to give him a chance to get healthy, make a run in the playoffs and if they come up short, “then we make changes.” – 4:13 PM

While we wait for James Harden trade details, the Lakers are another team spiraling in large part due to Russell Westbrook’s poor play. Westbrook’s contract and production make a deal almost impossible, but I found 3 that could help the Lakers. trib.al/U8Eb8KB – 3:28 PM

Good point by @Zach Lowe on a recent podcast that Harden needs more shooters around him than the currently-healthy Nets can offer. Landry Shamet isn’t healthy himself these days & there were beyond-this-season aspects to it, but the Shamet-Carter swap has hurt BKN. – 3:37 PM

Sophomore of the Week
Tyrese Maxey
It’s pretty amazing that an NBA sophomore drafted in the 20s could end up being the swing player who kills or fuels the biggest trade of the year. The Nets want him in a Simmons/Harden deal. The Sixers are saying no.

You could almost see the pain on the producers of NBA Today on @ESPNNBA knowing they’d have to spend 10-12 minutes on the SAC-IND trade, blowing up the usual (now Daily) Simmons/Harden talk, and having to cut back (Not cut out) Lakers talk. Believe it or not #itsa30teamleague – 3:29 PM
