At first glance you'll say no it the Knicks or the Nets.

However in regards to the pieces you had to what you've achieved is okc the worst decision makers in basketball.

Ive never seen a team have 3 MVPs and let go of 2.

Kevin Durant - MVP
James Harden - MVP(2 time pending)
Russell Westbrook - MVP
Serge Ibaka - 3rd in voting Defensive Player of the year 3 blocks per game

That team broke up faster than cock roaches when you flip the light switch on.

How do you let go of talent that expeditiously.

How can an owner/gm not know how to scout their own players but thecoli can.

Fans can easily spot potential in basketball players I'm assuming the people who been in the industry for years can follow suit.


(You can usually tell the difference between talent and trash
Like this year people knew Luka and Trae Young would at the very least be decent Basketball players.
2 years ago people knew Frank wasn't worth of a Lottery pick.
It's plain and simple.. out in the open.. you watch how the player plays, his tendencies and you make a solid decision from there.)

If you see the potential in a stock investment would you take your money out of it and let it go or would you put more money into the stock?:stopitslime:

You let go of a transcendent 7'0" player in KD
And James Harden who was a beast off of the bench on some 6th man status shyt. He would come into the game and take over. Not to mention Ibaka who achieved multiple triple double games from blocks point and rebs. He was a defensive star at the moment.

That team would easily be a dynasty in todays game. Steph Klay and whoever aren't seeing the developed OKC team.


Does the Owner/Gm deserve blame for OKCs lack of success? Is it the owners fault for okc not winning at least 1 Ring?:jbhmm:

Be cheap and not want to pay the luxury tax to keep Harden brehs....because you wanted Kendrick Perkins brehs.....end up paying the largest luxury tax this past season with a much worse team brehs.....and still lose in the first round brehs....

They chose the big man over the guard like every dumb ass organization since the 80s


lol.. true

Their reasoning was money and Spurs having Tim Duncan. I get it.

OKC didnt have the foresight of Golden St.. nobody did really..

It's funny because they didn't even have to make a choice. They could've just kept both.

I will say that at the time it looked like Serge was emerging into an all-time level talent, he had all the checkboxes. At that time I didn't think Serge would be just a role player like he is now.

He made a mistake. But there are far worse owners out there

But don’t do revisionist history. Who would have thought Harden would be this good at time of trade?

And they didn’t think they would ever lose Durant the way they did

Let a goofy dude who hucks coffee and goes on insignificant presidential runs sell a club with history to a burger-flipping, carpet-bagging Okie and his scumbag friends and move it to the ass-end of nowhere, brehs.

Clay-Clay ain't the worst, but he's down there toward the bottom.

I thought that owner died

Nah, that was a minority owner who ran his energy business into the ground and drove himself into a concrete pylon to escape scrutiny. Just another one of the great owners that David Stern sold the SuperSonics to!

If there were the death penalty for dumbass commissioners, Stern would have been fried a long time ago, but I guess I'll just have to keep this bottle of French brandy corked for the day he eventually dies. :blessed:
