Harden to Houston

[no_fucking_better_than_me]

SMH at how yall are talking about KMar.t like i said you ppl havent seen him play.You talking about ihim over the course of his career when i seen him recently inhis career. He's not the same player form Sactown.The rule chacnges.

Chicago brought up TS%, that shyt taking into account his free throw. Well he's not gettign to the line nomore. This is maddenig nto read. Yall still think KMart is a supersar. You dont believe me when i say he wasn't even on the floor in the closing minutes in a lot for games. That should say a lot about a player. Courtney fukking Lee was our crunchtime sg.

I cant wait for this season to start so yall can see the real Kevin martin. He's been trade talks the last two seasons. Last offseason he was close to getting to Minnesota.

You know i woke up thinking about this trade and Lamb aspect of it. I realy wish we could have kept him. I wish we coudl included Roycee White instea but i'm glad we kept Terrence Jones. He's looks really good. Was looking like the ghost of Shawn Kemp out there this preseason.

I have to wonder now if Jeremy Lamb was drafted all along to be used as trade bait. I never thought of him as a "Morey" pick.

Morey's 1st round picks in last 3 drafts:

Patrick Patterson
Marcus Morris
Donatas Motiejunas
Jeremy Lamb
Royce White
Terrence Jones
Parsons(in the second)

Got so much respect for Presti. This is how you run a team. Draft well, make timely trades, and don't let guys hold you hostage. For all those bemoaning the fate of small markets he is a perfect example of how a small market team can compete. If CLe and ORL were run like this Bron and Dwight would still be on those teams.

Cleveland and Orlando weren't sorry enough to be stacking lottery picks every year

Lol @ comparing James Harden to one-dimensional Kevin Martin...

Harden is a more explosive scorer, way younger, more athletic, 10x the playmaker, better defender, just better overall...

And Toronto and zdallas can both easily make the playoffs...easily

They have to hope that New York and Philadelphia are hampered by injuries all year long. And than Jonas pans out.

Cleveland was in the lottery in each of Bron's first two seasons. Orlando was in the lottery in each of Dwights first two seasons. OKC was in the lottery in each of Durants first two seasons.

Harden will be exposed something serious as a #1 option

OKC continues to make shrewd moves, that top 3 only protected pick is crazy. the 2 players and HOU's own 1st was enough, then they get that. unreal

 

[Texas2step]

IMO Kmart is a better scorer than Harden. Kmart would never get shutdown like Harden did in the finals. Harden does everything else well but Kmart was the better scorer of the 2.

We are going to be fighting for last place just like in baseball.

I havent been this disappointed since they got rid of Landry

Houston will be paying roughly $45 million for Lin, Asik, and Harden. we will be paying around the same for Durant, Westbrook, and Serge.

you guys have no clue what the raps pick is about

Its the opposite. If it is 1-3 or 14-30...we keep. Otherwise OKC will get it

 

[beenz]

Lin & Harden as the faces of the franchise

asik too. cuz he's getting paid "Face of the franchise" money as well.

yea, i understood fully. there is a very high chance that pick lands in between those ranges. its a bonus that could turn this deal into a landslide victory for the Thunder
