Is it fair to Say OKC would trade Westbrook for Harden

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The Thunder haven't made it back to the finals since Harden was on the team.

Before anyone references the injuries they've suffered these past three years, last season they struggled in the first round against Memphis, would have been down 3-2 against the Clippers in the second round if it weren't for a ridiculous CP3 turnover and lost in six against San Antonio in the WCF. My point is they clearly missed Harden.. They've retooled very well but Harden's scoring and playmaking off the bench is essentially irreplaceable.

Wat?! Harden is a beast but he ain't fukkin wit Russ bruh

Fukk outta here because they're about even.

Harden is more skilled, a better and craftier scorer, a more creative passer and playmaker, and hyper efficient.

Westbrook is more explosive, more athletic, a great rebounder, a more aggressive and dynamic player, and he's pretty clutch.

Harden will age better and be more consistently good but Westbrook has a much higher ceiling.

60+ ts% for a guard Is super efficient. I mean he's not lying

He's far too inconsistent to be labelled "hyper efficient". Especially in a playoff situation.

 

[Draje]

He's averaging 26.9 on 61% TS in the playoffs this year. That is UNGODLY efficient. Say what you want about last season but, right now, he's hyper efficient.

He's far too inconsistent to be labeled as "hyper efficient" - he struggled for months barely shooting above 40%, as well as leading the league in total turnovers.

He averaged 27 on 60% TS in the regular season

That's absolutely hyper efficient. The Fukk is wrong with you?

If he had a bad month but ended up shooting 60% then it's fine. His average game over the season is...HYPER EFFICIENT!

Do you act like Harden can't get to the line at will? He's been ungodly efficient during the playoffs and regular season.

The fukk is wrong with me? What the fukk is wrong with you? Can you not read -

It's not fine, inconsistency doesn't make you a hyper efficient player.

Relying on calls like he does is another reason why I don't classify him as being "ungodly" efficient.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

And what did I tell you about using TS%.

Having a bad month doesn't make him inefficient anymore than a great scorer having an off month makes him a bad scorer.

He finished the season with an ungodly high TS% and scoring 27 PPG. He's efficient. It's a simple that.

Imagine...being stupid enough to think that any player scoring over 24+ PPG on 60% TS could be called inefficient. Name me one player who scored over 20 PPG on 60% TS that you would call inefficient?

Nah breh,now I might have overreacted a bit,but Harden is not better than Russ,if I had to do top 5 in the league it would go:
Bron
KD
Russ
Davis
Steph

Harden would be #6

Westbrook is also the better scorer of the two,he led the league in scoring this year,Harden can be as crafty as he wants,he not the better scorer,it's a small gap,but Russ is better than Harden

Stop using TS%.

He had two full poor shooting months - inconsistencies which have been the plot to his story since he's been in Houston. I hate bringing this up, but if his team didn't dig him out of that 5-20 (25% shooting) hole in Game 6 of the LA series (where they were down by double-digits in the 4th quarter), while he was sitting on the bench - that would be the THIRD consecutive postseason where his poor shooting %s and high-turnover rate cost his team from progressing further.

Imagine...being stupid enough to think that any player scoring over 24+ PPG on 60% TS could be called inefficient. Name me one player who scored over 20 PPG on 60% TS that you would call inefficient?

Where did I say it was "inefficient"? I'm just disagreeing with the notion that he's 'hyper/ungodly' efficient or whatever superlative you want to describe it with.

Wtf are you smoking ?!? Ames Haren is the epitome of inefficiency. (RW ain't that efficient either) And this thread is stupid... No one would trade Westbrook for heliflopter.. Westbrook can do everything that fakkit does and does it better..
