What you think about the Harden deal for both teams?
OKC made out like bandits. Houston, once again, overpays drastically for a guard. I think you ended up being right, AGAIN, didnt you say Harden would leave? I gotta stop arguing with you HAHAHA

Lets look at it logically:
Harden, career 12ppg, 1 breakout season at 16ppg. 1 Epic disappearing act in the NBA Finals, barely played in the Olympics, had a mediocre preseason. Is he replaceable? ABSOLUTELY.

Now, lets look at what they got in return in OKC. YOu know WITH harden, they got beat last season. They go out an Draft PJ3, good pickup. Eric Maynor is back who they missed all last season. They trade Harden who was seeking a 15 million a year contract, for KMART who averages 18ppg, Lamb who is a good young player (lead the team in scoring in summer league), and 3 DRAFT PICKS. OKC did the right thing.

Harden will be like a ton of previous 6th men, forgotten, good player no doubt, but not a superstar.

For arguments sake, Hawks got Lou Williams, 6th man runner up, for HALF of hardens contract price. Harden is overvalued IMO, and his game is exposed, miami shut him down easily.
