the off-season and rumors are already starting to hit
That's just NBA busy season, the boring part where we had to play/watch the game is finally over.
As for the rumors, I think the Blazers ones might be a bit credible. While I don't think Ayton is the answer to their questions it certainly feels like the kind of move Portland would make. Don't see any world in which the CP3/Harden swap happens, that's horrendous for Philly. It might even be better for them to let him leave for nothing with how big CP3's contract is.
