I wouldn't have a problem with it, no. But I don't think it's an unreasonable argument for not maxing Harden and getting something in return for him.Quote:

Except it was also a widely criticized move at the time, and that criticism wound up being right.Quote:

JMO, obviously, and it's all moot discussion at this point. . .
to get this thread going again, here's to the golden state team bus accidentally driving in to the bay. . . :beer:
I've been kicking NTL in the nuts about Harden for a couple of years now, but it just feels gratuitous at this stage.
i've mostly refrained from doing so, so hopefully you can forgive me for getting a couple shots in now. . . :DQuote:

You don't build a contender around a guy like James Haren.
Okc wouldn't have built anything around him. He was their third piece. That's as good of a third piece as you could possibly hope for.Quote:

As soon as OKC let Harden leave they showed Durant they didn't really care about winning but instead cared about winning for the right price. Man oh man, I can't believe I was blind to it.
from the dumpster fire waiting to happen files; ty lawson has just signed with sacramento. . . lulz. . . what could possibly go wrong there?
