Its official... this Harden trade is just indefensible.

he would ALWAYS come off the bench. You dont care about that shyt but the shyt is the truth. Max for a bench player on this team that would always be there. there is no "figure it out" when its the way things work. He didnt want to here. Could they have traded him later, sure I see that but he was always going to be gone because he didnt want to be here. He was the only guy refusing to take less than max. not even KD and Russ are getting the full max.

:comeon:

then you find a way for him to start.

regardless of what youre saying, they didnt even get shyt back for him :heh:

just completely random, off the top of my head. they could have easy sent him to utah for one of their bigs and a pick.

okc was number 1 in the east, and would have prob been in the finals if westbrook didnt get injured.

they should have traded him for like asik or something though

Start Harden and who would provide scoring off of the bench :what: do you dudes think? Did you not just watch them struggle to score anytime KD wasn't on the floor?

I agree it can be called a cheap move, but if you don't understand what the front office was trying to accomplish...then that says more about you than them.

All the OKC apologists are gonna say it was the right decision but it was one of the worst trades ever. They didn't get shyt for him and he didn't even want that much more money. Cheap ass franchise and they'll get what they deserve in the long run.

How the fukk did they not take Shabazz at 12? :mindblown:

Cuz shabazz sucks he's not as good as the hype

how do you know they got nothing? because a rookie didnt start for a 60 win team?

dude, HE WAS NEVER GOING TO START FOR THIS TEAM. THEY SAW AND TREATED HIM AS A 6TH MAN.

why is this hard to get for some of you. They traded him for a stop gap guy who played his role and may bring back, another wing that Presti was high on, and whats now a center that Presti feels comfortable grooming(admittedly, I want some one else:ld:)

how do you know they are horrible when none have played? A rookie not playing for a 60 win team and a vet in front of him is THAT hard to understand bruh?

I dont have to defend it I HAVE GOTTEN OVER IT. I'm not the one making threads about fukking Harden:what: None of the OKC fans on here are.

he was always going to be a 6th man for US. thats how they ultimately viewed him in the end and moved on to another guy they feel comfortable with playing that role.

Do you realize you dont have to bench all your starters at the same time :jada:

we did blow it on the Perk trade tho. dude is ass and brings nothing at this point. Boston Perk(or at least what we assumed him to be) would have been a good fit...what we have now in him:merchant:

He's a 3rd center,in a suit guy thats for inspiring words not actual play time...he's still gonna play tho:sadcam:
