So Harden was traded because of a difference of 4.5 million dollars. I don't buy that it has to be more to the story. He musta just wanted to be the man on his own team. But i think the Thunder came out on top with this trade. A starting caliber two guard in Martin, a rookie who will proly be their starter in the future in Lamb and two first and second round picks. Even if they only get one out of those four picks right they still come out good. It's crazy that OKC got a better deal for Harden then the Magic got for Dwight.
he got traded because our cap would have been at 95 million with his contract extension we offered. that 4.5 million extra he wanted comes with a 2.25 per dollar over penalty so, that could have been a extra 25-30 million for him.
