well that didn't last
we still good
PJ3, Ibaka balling, K-Mart can replace Harden off the bench, J-Lamb, a lottery pick and another first-round pick... I feel good about OKC this year and for the future
we still good
one of the biggest advantages I gave OKC over the Lakers was Nash would have to guard either Westbrook or Harden, now he doesn't. ya'll still the favorites, but it's closer now.

I think people are forgetting that Ibaka did a lot better than Harden in the preseason. With the core of Russ + KD + an improved Ibaka plus all this young blood, the team is looking good. Of course so are the Lakers, but OKC still has every chance to

so this were u dudes went
That toronto pick and k mart on a expiring makes this a great deal for okc
I wonder if that finals performance plus that 2-17 harden just shot in chicago made them more comfortable on doing the deal

Presti didnt want to do the deal, but as he said their was nothing he could do. any deal getting rid of one of your cogs is bad but in the long run i actually think this is better. harden has looked terrible im not even sure he picked up a basketball during the offseason.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
We won that trade 
I'll miss Harden but I don't think people are seeing what we did this offseason. Last year Harden was our bench production. Fisher & Collison played their roles but neither one was a scoring option really & Cook was a hit or miss 3 point shooter. Now our bench is deeper, we go 10 deep. Maynor coming back takes care of Harden's ability to handle the ball & be a playmaker. Martin can score what Harden did. But now we have Lamb & Jones who are also gonna contribute to the bench scoring. Collison will do what he always does hustle. Plus our starting 5 is the same but their also improving (except Perk
). Plus them draft picks 
I assume Daniel Orton will get one of those open roster spots now. We should look for a shooter with the other.
