I read the title and went, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT."

Guess he's planning on bouncing back from that weak ass Finals performance. But this also means you can guarantee that he's not going to be on the Thunder in the future. Less money, sixth man < max money, starter.

He'll get the max from someone if it ain't OKC. But Presti's right in not giving him the max right away; that franchise can't afford 3 max deals.

word

They were gonna have to let one go, and I think 99% of folks would agree Harden is the most expendable. Don't get me twisted Harden is a great player but you gotta stick with Durant and Westbrook by any means

If I was Durant I'd reconstruct my deal to help increase the OKC offer to Harden. Durant is making major dough from every angle, he could afford it - put he has another contract in him at least. Perhaps that would show Harden he's really valued, although of course he could still take way more money from another team

He'll be dealt by the deadline if they don't get something worked out.

We just gave Turner 6.7 million for next year. :snoop:

But that contract can be dealt. I'd love to see Harden in a Sixers jersey. He'd fit in fine in Philly with that Freeway beard.

Word ...hopefully turner steps it up this year but can u imagine bynum commanding the double team with Richardson on the wing and harden cuttin to the basket :ohlawd:
