looking back from a year ago, Morey traded Jordan Hill, Kyle Lowry, Kevin Martin and Courtney Lee for James harden. Would have taken that in a heartbeat, especially considering everyone but Lowry was guaranteed to be shown the door when their contract ended.
Kevin Martin is garbage too and Lamb is a complete question mark, so OKC lost just as much as the Rockets...
Lin-Harden Dynasty
He might be a choking flopper in the playoffs for the Thunder, but Rocket Harden is a badass, so you guys
THE LAKERS won this trade.
Harden
raped by a half dead Nigerian on worldwide television
chokes harder than horse with 2 dozen glazed donuts
Kevin Martin constantly injured
not going to magically get better at age 30
Jeremy freaking Lamb
It gets better:
Adrian Wojnarowski:
Houston plans to give James Harden a four year, $60 million extension once deal is completed, league sources tell Y! Sports.
Harden is one of the most efficient players in the NBA..his offensive game is complete, he isn't just a one-dimensional scorer, and he's still young..
In the social media era of sports, over reactions lead to front office mistakes, tbh..Harden struggled in the Finals, but this will kill OKC's chances at a championship, this season..
Raptors have a decent shot at a top 8 seed, therefore the picks aren't even that great, tbh..
OKC may have positioned themselves for a brighter future, but as we have seen with many teams in the past, the window of potential could be shorter than originally envisioned..
I imagine OKC believes that Eric Maynor can replicate some of Harden's playmaking off the bench, but he's coming off a major injury and he's overrated by most basketball die-hards, tbh..
Come on now, Harden is a total one-dimensional flopper and certainly not worth $60 mil...
Is a max contract for Harden in Houston reasonable? He's the undisputed #1 player there lol
Clippers won this trade even more, tbh... we already owned the Thunder WITH Flop So Harden, now OKC got worse...
Raptors pick will not go to OKC until they miss the playoffs. It's backwards protected. It's a very nice asset to have.
Even while struggling during key playoff stretches, Harden posted a 21 PER on an elite 61% true shooting percentage for the entire playoffs..it's crazy that 1 series has completely altered the perception of Harden's game..
We came out of this one with the better end of the deal.
now San Antonio gets to see its worst nightmare playing against them in the same division. Can't wait to see all you crybabies surface.
He can shoot, dribble penetrate even with shotblockers around the rim, is a decent passer and a willing defender.
Last year he shot 49/40/85 and is a guard. that is pretty damn elite. He is only 24 years old.
The man can ball.
Because that series was the Finals.
I also like the acquisition of Jeremy Lamb. He's shown a lot of potential thus far.
This, glad we got rid of Martin. He can't play D, can't handle the ball, is un-clutch. Lamb looks promising but he is a late lotto rookie.
That Toronto pick is the only piece I'm hurting over, but we needed to land potential first option. Harden has never been a first option, but Morey obviously gambled. Let's see if he can survive a season leading a team.
He's a sleeper. Good college player tbh. I like his game.
Oh and cue the crybaby takes of Clipper Nation, a notoriously bad poster.
Keep crying.
The Thunder will always be a better franchise than the Clippers. Eat .
Kevin "Chucker" Martin and Russell Westbrick on the same team
