could have threw Perkins ta the curb n sign some scrub center
Would've been ideal to keep Harden and Ibaka, obviously, but it's not real reasonable to expect a small market team can sign 3 max contract players. In all, they are still excellent with Martin and should be a legit contender. Martin is fantastic in isolation as well. Clearly he doesn't finish in the same manner as Harden, but his shot release is fantastic for getting defenders in the air and being able to drive and penetrate the lane. I've thought in the past at times that keeping Harden over Westbrook might have been more ideal, but Westbrook currently is really showing a lot more poise and improvement in his role. I think it all hinges on Westbrook as to how far the team goes. I truly don't think Martin will slow them down any. Ibaka's offense and overall improved ball movement and passing has sort of made up for Harden's offense.

Except that could have done it in any number of ways. Instead, they chose to trade him over a difference of $5m spread over 4 years.
im thinking they ship him off over principle that they didn't wanna pay harden max. Dun make sense ta refuse to pay extra mil n a quarter per year for a team that probably profitable
To be fair, he's got a decent if streaky PG and a good C to help.
Asik is a monster, I swear that everytime I catch a Rockets game he has like 18 rebounds.
Scoring 15 in the final six minutes like its nothing. Wolves announcers were wishing they had a "guy like that".
At some point in the 2013 playoffs, Thunder announcers will be saying the same thing.
I agree and could be the difference if you meet in the WCF again. I still think OKC should would be favored but Harden was a key factor in the back-door sweep. Plus he and Collison had great chemistry in pnr situations. I get why those chose to keep Ibaka and Martin can score but despite his bad Finals showing dont see how Thunder beat the Heat as constructed. Their best advantage ...durant over the opposing SF is neutralized by Battier on defense and Lebron on offense. Durant may score more but James is winningthat matchup 9 out of 10 times. When your best player gets out-played at his position it is HARD to win. A second straight Finals loss is the OKC ceiling ... but an upset in the WCF wouldnt shock me either.
That was his first experience at this level. People are usually overreacting at his performance IMHOIMHO
Its 2.0 you dumb
Badfish with the re ed Mavkrew reject bads per par.
oh, wow
Being intentionally re ed and pretending not to get things is like a schtick you're trying or are you really this slow?
I imagine that they were saying it today.
Too bad thunderfan took his blanket and ran away. I would have loved to see him spin today's events.
OKC traded away their fourth quarter point guard for the corpse of Reggie Miller.
Ouch.
Serious bombs here.
When Durant has an off night in the playoffs it's going to be up to Refsbrook to beat the Clippers, Spurs, and Heat. That prospect has to TERRIFY OKC fans.
, even when Durant plays well, they'll STILL need Whistlebrick to show up in the playoffs, which he won't.... that's why the Thunderefs won't be ringing anytime soon even with the favorable whistle, until they either dump Whistlebrick or force some basketball IQ into his pea brain...
Westbrook has some amazing chimp DNA, his athleticism and lack of injuries is proof of that. Fortunately he also has a chimp brain so that's the balance that we need. Until Sam Presti can find some ALZ-112 for Westbrook, we must exploit his stupidity.
his nba career path is starting to mesh like gino, a choke here and there if u know what i mean
Oklahoma City is another team with plenty of assets, and after losing to the Lakers and both games of the season series to Miami, is strongly considering a move, sources said. Thunder GM Sam Presti is likely dangling both younger players and draft picks to land an offensively-gifted player to join Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

Would have been so easy to just keep the one he had.
no matter who they trade for, they still have westbrick on the t eam who is not a pure pass first pg, his always looking for his and will shoot ur t eam out of a game when he decides to go kermit mode with continuous possessions where he will ballhog
