    Durant is clearly better than the others I have Harden #2 which is why he wanted to leave b/c Brooks had no idea what he was doing & Westbrook is the worst but most exciting to watch. It's funny how the same ones to criticize Kobe & AI praise Westbrook but their teams actually won.

    Don't make no excuses for Okcheap... they lowballed Harden 5 yrs 57 mil and he was coming off the bench in an underutilized role, OKC ? that up on their own

    The funny thing is Harden and Westbrook play like they have the size and strength of Durant and Durant plays like he is the height of Durant.

    As far as Harden sure he has more money and a bigger Adidas contract but he have forever stuck himself in a spot where other players don't really want to sign to him in houston. He scared away dwight and will be a mediocre average Western conference team that maybe gets to the first round every year and gets beat.

    Using Dwight Howard leaving Houston as a reason why Harden won't be able to attract other marquee is boneheaded as hell... Dumbwight Howard is a runner who has never accepted who he is, which is a defensive anchor.. not only did he dip on James Harden, who had MVP caliber seasons playing with him while he cried about touches...

    He also ran from LA while Kobe put the squad on his back to tear his Achilles pushing the Lakers into their last playoff berth and wouldn't accept to be the defensive staple... also ran from Orlando when he had the perfect situation made for him... Harden has the rockets in the top 4 in the west going nuts put some respeck on the man name

    I shouldn't have said definitely with Westbrook, but it's prolly debatable

    ? is still baffling to me. Only a matter of time before Goatbrook start demanding a trade.

    They literally had 3 of the top 10 if not 5 players in the league on one roster and got 0 to show for it

    People should stop blaming KD for leaving, and blame Sam Presti and the OKC organization for KD leaving...the front office shipped Harden not long after going to the finals while giving top dollar extensions to Kendrick Perkins & Ibaka refusing to pay Harden his market value... Oklahoma City got full of themselves thinking they could pull talent out of a hat and was too cheap to pay the luxury tax..

    They had Sefolosha, Reggie Jax, Harden, Ibaka, that's real talent that they pawned off for Ramen noodle packs.. people want to be mad at KD bc he didn't want to play on a 2-man squad with zero reliable exterior pieces anymore.. Sam Presti should've paid luxury taxes to keep that core together to insure title success , KD hit his ceiling there it was time to go don't be mad at him... that organization failed KD, not the other way around

    This is the most honest assessment of the OKC situation. No way I was choosing Ibaka over Harden I said it was stupid back then and it look even more stupid today

    I don't like what KD or Lebron did but I ain't going to hate on them for doing it.

    Also I'm sure its a lot of behind the scenes ? we don't know about between them and management.

    I take more issue with Lebron going back to cleveland after what Dan Gilbert said than I do with him going to miami to play with Wade and Bosh.

    My issue was how he quit on his team and got out 0played by Howard in his last game with Cleveland. Then he had the decision and that ? with Wade and Bosch and got beat in the finals lol. I didn't like him going back to Cleveland when he got his ass whooped again by the Spurs and forgave what Gilbert said. KD handled it professionally with no announcement, emotions and didn't quit on his team. Facts are facts.
