Two years later, why did OKC trade Harden again?

Because their ownership is cheap and dumb...

Its not just that they traded him... Its that they panicked, rushed and didn't get proper market value for him

in any trade no matter what theres gonna be a winner and a loser. typically the winner is the team who ends up with the best player. :whistle:

Every cotdam inch of GA..except the racist parts
it is mad shady.
they are trying to stockpile two durants in kd and pjiii.
by not effectively using pjiii as durant 2.o.
shyt is consistently blatant, and pisses me off.
as, I am a big Durant and pjiii guy since they were in hs.
easily their biggest Stans watching them make the NBA.

shyt is disgusting what they are doing to pjiii, when durant was out early in the year pj dropped 32 then 20 in back to back games, then had 16 in the next game in 24 min before he got hurt...its like the FO was like

:damn::damn::damn::damn: "we didn't expect PJ to be able to ball like this so sooon......'

The NBA is a game of windows. The more good young players you have the bigger your window gets. With Harden, OKC had a glass wall. A potential Spurs like, 10 year window.

Now, their window has most likely closed.

okc purposefully benched him to try to cap his potential.
that is why currently lamb/pjiii/jqckson are not given much on purpose.

They know if them n***as shine they gon be gone :lolbron:


OKC literally tries to undermine premier talent so they don't have to pay them. Reggie Jackson unfortunately proved his worth too much and he's gonna be gone this offseason :mjlol:

If you ain't Durant, Westbrook, or Ibaka they don't want you eating. OKC literally tries to minimize your potential earnings by having you buy into the concept of a "winning team". Look at that bull**** contract Harden would have been stuck with :wow:


I could understand if they were vets but these are young dudes who ain't even ate yet :wow:

F*** playing there :laff:

So Durant didn't play like shyt last year in the playoffs? To the point his own newspaper called him out

If you want me to say they should trade Durant then you win that battle my friend, they should trade him he's garbage.

Honestly do any of you guys watch OKC unless their on national TV or playing your favorite team? :francis:

I wish PJ3 could get minutes too. But dude comes into games & don't do shyt 99% of the time. PJ3 has the same problem he has always had, he is either going to play agressive or he's not. It ain't got shyt to do with trying to hold him back.

Reggie ain't getting held back either. He doesn't want to be on the team anymore & has played like ass (outside of a handful of games) since Russy & KD got back because he wasn't going to get 20 shots a game anymore. So now instead of playing his game, he just shoots long stepback jumpers at a horrible clip while giving not 1 fukk about defense.

Lamb on the other hand has been fukked over by Brooks & I hope wherever he ends up he plays great.

I like some of the players in the okc, but I absolutely hate that organization and they deserve this shyt happening to them. Steal a franchise to see their players getting stolen.

What they did with Harden trade was a bytchmade move that defined the ownership and front office of this team, they chose to save money and fool people by creating this championship contender illusion, they fill up the seats every night because fans are still going to watch a very competitive team, but it's not a dynasty anymore, when they clearly had the potential to be one.

Perry Jones could have been one of the top picks if not for injury, ok he slipped many spots lower the next year but when healthy this guy can play, he had some great games when KD and RW were out, but he's wasting his time on this team same way Jeremy Lamb does too. I hope both guys leave this team the same wat Reggie Jackson gonna do this year. Now then we will see some fukkery going on, also I don't understand this waiters trade, why bring this useless a$$hole when some of your talented players need more minutes :why:

This team's gonna be a huge misery if they don't win a title in the next few years.
James Harden is NOT the reason why OKC won't be a dynasty.

Like the year they got past the Spurs on their way to the finals? Perspective; context....etc.

If you can't see how trading away the current highest scorer in the league was a mistake considering OKC are fighting for a playoff position, then I don't know what to tell you.
The assumption you're making is

A) Harden's the highest scorer in the league in OKC

B) Harden is providing something they currently lack.

C) Harden has now turned into a necessary figure for them to be a playoff team which absolutely eliminates the explanation for how OKC is currently in this position. Maxing out someone as insurance for two players who have never missed games up to now getting hurt makes no sense.

Still stand by my take: Worst trade of all time. Should have gotten more for Harden.

I really wanna know what Brooks issue with Lamb is. I just don't get it.

You wanna do a Jordan Hill for Perk and Lamb trade? :feedme:

The best thing they got offered was overrated ass Bradley Beal.

6th men, even the best ones, don't fetch a shyt ton in return
How is Beal overrated? He's very good for someone his age and has a lot of potential. Would be a reliable scorer outside of Sabo and Durant.
