Two years later, why did OKC trade Harden again?

Because their ownership is cheap and dumb...
Its not just that they traded him... Its that they panicked, rushed and didn't get proper market value for him

Gotten farther than HOU
In hindsight they should have kept them but I feel where they were coming from. It probably would have defeated the purpose to max out three wing players and Harden probably wouldn't have reached his potential being the third option.
this the same type of a$$hole that will make sure not to reply to your question......You guys can't let this shyt go can you?
Coli needs that trollblock 3.0 upgrade; i would neg his ass, but well....go up there, and look

Yes. He was dealt because they couldn't agree to a deal.
That and it was right before the season began. They didn't really have leverage to make a move because Harden didn't make much money.

Unless Harden grows nine inches (no homo) and becomes an interior presence at C, Harden's not the missing link between OKC and the title.They're chemistry together was dynamic.......I waswhen they let Harden go and I'm not even an Oklahoma City fan........They'll never win a championship and most likely never make it back to the Finals again. Durant or Westbrook will probably leave before long.
nikka fukk harden, his groupies, and his no defense playin ass....is that you James? Ol help harden have a home ass nikkas. That's Houston's problem now
in the offs since he left

You don't start Harden with Russy and KD. Too many shots to go around and we know how ass Harden is on D. Switch with Sef and Thunder had no bench scoring options.

Agreed, but paying him that much money with Russy and KD would have never worked out. They still need a better post position player, I don't like Ibaka for this team, despite how great he is.

Multiple sources have told me that, when Oklahoma City's Sam Presti decided to shop James Harden, Golden State was his first call. He wanted Klay Thompson and a pick. The Warriors would only consider the trade if Oklahoma City took back Biedrins or Jefferson for 2013 expirings, knowing they'd get crushed by the luxury tax in 2014 with Harden's extension plus Steph Curry's extension plus David Lee plus Bogut/Jefferson/Biedrins. At that point, Presti went to Washington (offering Harden for Bradley Beal, and unbelievably getting turned down), then Houston (where the shopping heated up). Presti never ended up calling Golden State back.

As good as they can be without fixing their biggest hole (and long term for OKC they hope Adams can fix that)
