Was that the best deal OKC could get for Harden?

[RickyGQ]

I'm guessing their true piece was picking up Lamb but I gotta think there was a better deal out there... a guy like Afflalo and picks seems like it would make the Thunder a better team...

 

[Da_Eggman]

got much more for harden than Orlando did for Dwight

 

[dem bath salts]

was a great deal in the long term but should have rode this year out. coulda won the chip with that core and the chemistry. dont see it happening now. guess theyre counting on them being young and having years to dominate. I guess, but aint shyt guaranteed in the nba.

Funny because Orlando wanted to trade Dwight for ibaka and harden last year. KD, Westbrook , Howard would have won multiple titles.

Dwight was gonna stay in OKC?

SI Writer laid out the Harden trades back in August ... actually basically called the K-Mart trade ...

Analyzing the motivation behind a potential James Harden trade | The Point Forward

- Trade Harden to the Magic for J.J. Redikk and three first rounders. As a big fan of Redikk, I don’t hate it. I mean, I hate it of course, but I don’t hate it. You know?

- Trade Harden to Houston for Kevin Martin and his expiring deal and picks, including Toronto’s likely lottery pick. Or instead of Martin, get the picks with a young player or two (Jeremy Lamb, Chandler Parsons, Royce White).

- Picks from Milwaukee for Mike Dunleavy Jr. and a young player (Doron Lamb, Tobias Harris).

- Send Harden to Cleveland for something like Anderson Varejao, Tristan Thompson or Dion Waiters.

- Lou Williams and multiple first-round picks from the Hawks.

Only they got K-Mart's deal, AND J. Lamb AND the picks

I'm excited to see the Lakers and Clips this season as well, but they're about to be in for a rude awakening . PJ3, J Lamb & K-Mart.. Plus Russ and KD are still on the team

Harden who?

[Mr210]

should have traded Harden to the spurs for Dejuain blair and Bonner

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

they got a good scorer and young talent and a possible high pick...for their 3rd option scorer
