Detroit Pistons: 5 funniest teams for a James Harden trade

5 funniest teams for a James Harden trade

Charlotte Hornets

This would be more of a spite trade for Philly, as the Hornets are where NBA hope goes to die. Yes, the Detroit Pistons have also been horrible, but at least we have tradition, great fans and some amount of faith in our front office. The same can’t be said in Charlotte, though they may finally have more optimism after Michael Jordan sold the team. I would love to see LaMelo Ball and James Harden try to co-exist and then the inevitable Big Baller fallout when they didn’t. We haven’t heard much from LaVar Ball lately, which is a shame.

Minnesota Timberwolves

Both Minnesota and Philly have a superstar on a big deal that they could possibly move this season in Karl-Anthony Towns and James Harden. Both of them are elite scorers who can’t defend, so why not just swap them straight up? The more I thought about this one, the more I liked it, as it kind of/sort of works from a basketball perspective (not really) and it would be funny to send Harden to a freezing city with no strip clubs instead of his preferred destination in LA. I actually kind of like this one. It would give Minnesota a more balanced lineup and pair KAT with Embiid, which could have comedic value of its own.
