    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.

    20/20 hindsight is too easy.

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

    i hammered the move at the time, so definitely no hindsight here. . .

    and i like adams a lot, but IMO he's scant compensation for the opportunities they may have lost when they let harden go-- steve's a nice role player, but him and that old-ass flopper shooting guard they rented for a year or two? for harden, a guy who was second in the MVP race a year ago, even if he is a no defense chump? nah, i think you guys got worked on that one about five times as hard as you just worked orlando. . . 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. . .

    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. . .

    though honestly, i'm wholly sympathetic to him on this one. . .

    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.

    I don't agree, I think a guy like Haren ruins teams, unless he's a role player, like the way OKC used him.

    What exactly do you disagree with, then? We are saying the same thing. As a third piece (also, read: role player), he is a great guy to have. As we have seen, OKC has not made the finals again since they got rid of him.

    Wade signing with Chicago, per Woj.

    He ain't go no D so he's Haren.


    You can win a championship with a scoring guy who plays no D, Al.

    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.

    I love that franchise. No, really, I do.
