The rich just got richer. With that Toronto pick and how stacked the east is now I can easily see the Thunder leaving the draft with Cody Zeller. Then let's see how much those Lakers fans celebrate. OKC gon fukk around and draft a center in next years lottery. That should scare every nikka that rock with a western conference squad.

Was just about to post it. OKC is playing chess. Basically all their players are long, athletic and young. They got shooters. It's gonna be fun watching them.

Harden couldn't be used to his full potential in OKC alongside Westbrook. Now the pressure will be off Lin as well. Good move for the NBA.

But how much will Harden put up in Houston as a starter? Im looking forward to see how he does as basically their #1 option.

I agree Harden helped Russel a lot.

:ohlawd:

why you so mad?

:yeshrug:

ofcourse he was down...he missed a third of the season last year :huhldup:

like he usually does...

yea...well...we'll see...

the lakers are gonna abuse this new okc squad...theyre gonna miss harden...when martin is clankin jumpers

i see this as a trade where neither team got better...:manny:
if you knew he was down last season, why'd you bring up okc gonna get hurt by martin's playmakin ability when harden only had the role cause maynor was out? and what do you mean like he usually does? before that season maynor played 82 games.. do you even know what u talkin bout?

:rudy:

you don't see this as okc winnin cause you fail to see the bigger picture. folk are gass'd up off hardens 49% FG.... he aint gonna touch that this season. nd they got lamb plus they got TWO first round picks .... that toronto pick is top 3 protected ... so if they fall between 4 and 15 ... thunder will eat off that.... and they will eat off the dallas pick which is top 20 P as well..... not to mention kmarts contract expires this season too... it puts the thunder in great position.

You are giving Scott Brooks too much credit.

:what:

Ive been shytting on scott brooks for years

He plays with two top 10 players in the league and theyre both wings. They took all the pressure off of him......when he was doing work dolo it was against reserves like steve blake

These are the biggest factors for the Rockets.

They are gambling on whether Harden is really an all-star, and yes - it will take (most of) the pressure of Lin. Lin isn't a first option, but he would've been the biggest name before this deal.
