And they wouldn't have Kanter either. No Waiters and possibly no Roberson. All four of those players had a huge influence on this series - mostly on the defensive end/glass.
if you think about it, OKC kept James Harden, GSW couldn't hide Curry no where...
- Thread starter delta
- Start date
Then they wouldn't have Adams, it would be some rag tag center.remember, they used to put Steph on Harden back in 2009-12 when they played OKC. Only person that would be left to hide Curry on would be Ibaka??? Or another 4 if OKC went small
trade was truly a turning point in NBA history. shyt got so many layers
Russ and Harden are pretty inconsistent defender and both of them would have to guard Klay or Curry.
People really don't think this shyt through
No adams on LA

I'd say half and half. Russy doesn't guard Steph the majority of the time either.
Lol, they probably sweep the spurs with Harden. Harden doesn't have a problem letting Durant shine and drop his easy 30.If OKC still had Harden, they wouldn't have beaten the Spurs.
It's way harder to shut down a team where Harden is scoring option 2, than a team where Westbrook tries to be option 1,2 and 3
Adams would a big loss, but it isn't even comparable to the effect Harden would have on the squad. we are talking about 3 nikkaz who can put up 28/5/5Then they wouldn't have Adams, it would be some rag tag center.

Right now you got GSW guarding OKC like
Iggy / Rush -> KD
Klay -> Westbrook
Steph -> Roberson / Waiters
and have Steph have free roam to get steals?
w/ Harden, you force GSW to leave Steph on him or put Barnes on him and Curry on the 4 (assuming OKC plays small to matchup)
Harden on OKC doesn't become Houston Rockets Harden. With Durant and Westbrook Harden is not shooting 25 plus shots a game and dominating the ball on offense. I really think the "if Harden stayed" OKC would be be soo much better mantra is overhyped. Harden hasn't won shyt since leaving OKC.
Okc already has 2 of the top 5 scorers in the league

Smooth sailing from here on out...
You guys still talking about the Steven Adams trade? 
Let that shyt go already.
Let that shyt go already.
They wouldn't have Adams, Kanter, Waiters and possibly Roberson. Without them (mainly the bigs) the Spurs frontcourt would've eaten, and SA would've probably won. I don't think you realize how much of an impact Adams and Kanter had in that series.
Stop saying this. He does not. Klay is typically chasing around Redikk.
Once again They don't have a center and they most likely let go of thabo while paying Russ,KD, Harden, and Ibaka.
I'm not even sure Roberson gets drafted with Harden on the team, Presti probably drafts Gobert but that isn't a given.
They obviously don't go after Waiters.
Westbrook and Harden defending Steph and Klay is not ideal. Their front court would be garbage.

Who does he guard then? Roberson?
