    Harden is only 23.

    Already top 6 player in NBA (LBJ, Ref, CP3, Kobe, Parker, Harden).

    Locked up for 5 years. Woot woot. Thanks Presti.

    Harden was the reason they beat SA to get there.
    It is all about the finals

    Harden was 22 at the time? First finals appearance. A sixth man at the time. Harden canceled out Westbrick's chucking tendencies. If it was all about the finals, then Kobe sure as doesn't fare well.

    And if no team was willing to take Perkins then he could have simply been amnestied and finding a big body who's mediocre at rebounding and does nothing on offense to play 15-20 MPG would not have been hard. The small ball lineup of Westbrook - Harden - Sefolosha - Durant - Perkins would have been close to the matchup nightmare Miami's Chalmers - Wade - Battier/Allen - Lebron - Bosh lineup is.
    I think you meant Ibaka in the bolded spot, but I wholeheartedly agree with your take. They traded a top-tier swingman - who happened to be the team's best playmaker, is playing the second weakest position in the league and is cold-blooded in crunch time - to keep an overrated (defensively), offensive liability that can't play against certain match-ups or in long stretches. I really think that Presti cut off his nose to spite his face with the Harden trade. Unless a complete collapse occurs with Miami, then OKC isn't ringing anytime soon...............

    OKC got the raps pick.
    Yes, because Presti is batting 1.000% in the draft lottery (does the name Cole Aldrich ring a bell) and is sure to find a top 20 level player in a "weak" draft.

    Just thank Christ he didn't come here. I'd have to live with that.

    There'd be no end.

    I don't think you can argue that Harden would of been better to keep over Westbrook. Can't expect injuries either.

    its not a matter of paying westbrook instead of harden, but rather paying perkins/ibaka instead of harden

    I wonder who Presti will give away dat Reggie Jackson for?

    If I were Mitch, I would see about trading Glock and Duhon for him. Presti is about the only GM in the league that can get taken by Kupcake.
