The Harden trade was forced by ownership, yeah. But Presti was awful putting together support for his players. Other than Adams and Ibaka, his draft picks were straight toilet water and he wasn't great at picking up vets or side players to help. They only made the Finals once. One time.

Looking back, 2008: Westbrook was picked #4. Only Derrick Rose deserved to go higher, at #1, and in between were Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo, both pretty bad picks even at the time. Looking back, 2009: Harden was picked #3. Only Blake Griffin (possibly) deserved to go higher, at #1, and in...

Harden yes, Westbrook yeah. Had their detractors, but they were drafted extremely high for a reason. Neither Giddey nor Hlolmgren have franchise potential unless they really change. They're both high end complementary players.

It does seem like a better situation. He probably needed a change anyway, but he'll get a chance to eat up a lot of minutes for an old team.

Sure they did.

I like both Holmgren and Giddey. I just don't see them as franchise players and like I said, I think they need the proper players around them to be activated fully. Could be wrong, but I don't see these as Durant/Westbrook kinds of picks.

I always thought he'd force his way out, but... Jesus. Don't he have anyone on his side? Tell him to shut the fuck up?
