Thunder: Knowing what is known now.

[DJR210]

Could be worse, tbh.. Westbrook could have lost most of his athleticism from that knee surgery... hope it happens, IMO...

Mods trolling. Spurstalk.

Losing to Miami in the Finals was OKC's peak.

& that's just the way it is.

Durant just isn't it, much to the chagrin of NYC.

ADDENDUM:::He's got just a scent, the slightest whiff of Prince about him.

Shoulda built the bunkers in tornado alley. Will your politicians learn after Moore 2.0?

Oh wait, this was about trading Beard. Yeah, bad move.

[whitemamba]

CN trolling himself.

[elmanutres]

durant gonna go what lebron went through in cleaveland, then he leaves for another team and the thunder become contenders to be moved back to seattle. but i doubt durant will leave oklahoma, he's too loyal

& insecure. That's why he can't exercise his franchise:::he can't figure out how to do it, or, even if it's in him to be something more than a better Prince.

Durant is tailor made to be a Laker. he's a Beta perimeter player who needs a dominant big to win per par

[LkrFan]

Not worried here.

[KaiRMD1]

The Harden trade could truly be the undoing of the Thunder, sadly. Unless Reggie Jackson really blows up, this could be the beginning of the end. Luckily for them, the free agency period isn't over

[LkrFan]

Choosing Perk and Spearchucker over owning the West for the next 5 years

WTF?!

Nah, he's headed to his favorite team from childhood - the Raptors - to play with Wiggins, tbh

[Stabula]

Really thunderup? You just gave the forum a tramping grounds with which to all over your team

[Thebesteva]

Is the Harden trade the worst ever? Presti done ed up our chances to win a le. If Kevin bolts out, I wouldn't be surprised. This is a truly sickening time for Thunder fans.

Durant is coming to LA...book it 2015

[AchillesHeel]

Lakers sure hate this trade if Dwight leaves for Houston to join Harden, tbh

[Quadzilla99]

[Spurs9]

They wouldn't have been able to afford all of them anyway.

[TrainOfThought5]

Not worried here.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Quit being dramatic and just enjoy the game. After all, we did get Steven Adams out of this - who we all know will be the best center to ever play the game.

[LnGrrrR]

Eh, bad trade, but not the worst of all time. Presti had to choose between Ibaka or Harden IIRC. He chose the wrong one. happens.

[Raven]

the simple fact is that OKC could never afford four 10+ m/yr contracts on the same team. They were desperate to move him because they knew they would lose him for free once he became a FA. they got some picks and young prospects at least, little better than none imho. But I still believe that they should've moved Westchuck or Ibaka. Ibaka is overrated, westchuck is good but doesn't look like a good fit for Durant, and both guys had much bigger trading values than beard at that time and either of them would've brought back more than what they got from Houston for Harden. They should've at least given harden a try in the starting lineups imho.

the weird part is that if they could not afford it, than why they paid it anyway? their loss was when they didn't want to accept they were re ed to trade for perkins and traded harden instead. it's crazy to think they could have played
westchimp harden durant green ibaka while still having the likes of sefolosha on the team.. a small ball team for the ages that did not happen.

[Captivus]

The Thunder made a huge mistake, the make a decision under uncertainty, mainly:

• How good are Jackson-Harden-Durant?
• Is it better than West-XX-Durant?

They didn’t know, because they didn’t check.

If I had to say something, I would start talking about the Ibaka contract.

This.

Harden/Durant > Westchuck/Durant
