Why do people act like Harden would of been comfortable the whole time in OKC being a 3rd option or sixth man. lol I don't think dude would of just sit there and be comfortable with that position.

You're an idiotOkc should have kept harden and trade ibaka......I would take hardens scoring anyday......see how much stresss durant and westbrook face when your bench only scores 5 points
OKC needs discipline and to develop these young players like they did when they sucked if they not going bring in established players

because he would not have stayed. Somebody was going to throw the money that he wanted to see
He is the best 2 in the league, so there was no way he would've played in Durant & Westbrook shadow.............& he still young too. Oh yea, he going where the money is at
Westbrook contract is 78 million for 5 years
Harden contract is 80 million for 5 years. There's no way OKC would've kept him yet he'll still be a 3rd option. Harden went where the money was at & getting paid more than Westbrook -

You can't be the best 2 in the league playing the ? defense Harden plays. He good but he ain't th best

1st team All nba...
Say they had no choice but to trade him is 1 thing, but people forget what they got in return was a player gone the next year (Martin) and the pick that turned out to be Adams
This in exchange for a 1st team NBA player at age 23 -
Gotdamn.....thread looking like ground zero

I'm not a fan of James Harden because he have ? defense but they was crowning him 1st or 2nd best in the league. -
Good point, well written. I think Durant still has to develop into a vocal leader and become a playmaker for them to win. His lack of weight hurts him a little bit. I see your point though. I wouldn't be surprised if he never wins. I rooted for them once but I don't think I'll do it again. I hate people whose game is primarily jump shots. He's as cold as you get (minus stephen curry) with the J, but in championships you have to drive. He drives too, but I don't know. He's too good to make too many critiques about
-
They should've gave Perry Jones some burn.
-
It's definitely time for Durant to take the next step as a leader but like I been telling everybody, He's 25
-
KD needs to be a threat to score in the post. They need a better bench and they better hope Houston doesn't overtake them. Houston is the one team that can add a third star and wreck short term title chances on the west.

He gotta bulk up more.....you remember how cp3 guarded kd? -
I remember CP3 getting buckets on his head when they gave him the ball but they lost the game so that didn't happen

Okc been a poorly constructed team since the inception
Presti no genius everyone knew durant nice and Westbrook was a "potential" monster type player in college...
Explain Perkins
Lamb
Kevin Martin
Harden trade
Jeff green
Yada yada yada
Shout out to that buzz Aldrich center dude they drafted to hold it down, How'd that work out??

I'm glad harden got traded honestly ... ? was stuck in some 3rd wheel role when he was much better than that ... Same thing that happened to Chris Bosh

When your team is sucking like my Bulls, you'll take anybody getting 27, 7, and 7 nightly no matter how he getting them. Getting buckets, boards, and assists is all you can ask for if he's not getting steals and blocks. -

Cool but I don't get how people still say we should have kept harden. He did not want to be a 3rd option -
OKC just needs a new coach and coaching staff that actually has faith in others besides Durant and Westbrook. It's obvious they have a bit of talent on that bench by how some of those guys have stepped up and played ok since those 2 have been hurt.

Im not about to read thru this whole tread, but my uncle has had thunder season tix since they moved to okc.
He said he really believes this is their last shot.
I hope they come out the west personally.
Im rooting for thunder vs bulls finals -
