11-12 OKC Thunder Most Stacked All-Time?

[noob cake]

Westbrook
Harden
Durant
Ibaka

Was this the most stacked team in NBA history?

3 players eventually becoming top 2 at their position, 4 players in top 5.

Deuxrant: #2 SF
Goatbrook: #2 PG
The Beard: #1 SG
Ibaka: #5 PF

You lost your argument the moment you put james harden as the #1 sg

Mods?

Who is better today?

Beard is averaging 25/4/8 right now

Last season he put up 25/5/6

[Droid101]

Ibaka and Harden were fringe role players that year. They didn't develop into what they are today, yet.

Or are you going to try to say that KG, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Shaq, and Jermaine O'Neal is the most stacked team of all time, right? Number one or two PF, Number One Center, top five center, top two SF, and top 5 SG. Too good.

No, you can only look at the future or present, not the past. When those 5 were together, they weren't in their primes.

Fact: OKC could have all 4 players in their primes right now.

Wade, at least a healthy one

and Harden is a nonfactor in the playoffs

But they don't.

Agenda thread detected.

And yes, the Harden trade is one of the worst trades of all time. But it happened because Clay Bennett is a miserly thief, so it is what it is.

PS - In response to the OP, NO! :no:

No agenda. Just fact discovery.

Was thinking about OKC without Durant and Goatbrook earlier and then realized how stacked they were. If OKC had Harden right now, they could still put out a lineup without D-Leaguers in rotation

[imdaman99]

We will get to see exactly how "#5" best PF in the league will do on his own. But odds are he won't play as #5, more like #25 while Perry Jones III does his thing. Harden is #1 SG right now by default. He is no playoff performer.

[pnyozzzoo]

Harden shots negative percentage and turn the ball over and over in the playoff I wouldn't call him the #1SG. esp 2011. JJ was better not to mention kobe and Wade was playing.

Don't be like Bill Simmons, dude narrates Thunder as cheap dumb FO team who lost a dynasty by trading Harden and he refuse to bring up how poorly Harden plays in the playoff just so his agenda is right.

"Eventually" means at that time they were not so what's the argument here?

Agreed.. Definitely one of the GOAT stacked teams, still shouldn't have beaten the Spurs though.

[SpecialQue]

OKC gets a lot of steals in the draft, but man do they fvck it up with trades. I mean, Harden was the main reason they were able to get past the Spurs to get to the finals, and what do they do? Trade him to save money. Haven't been to the finals since.

No amount of spinning is ever going to make that trade good. It was a monumental fvck up on their part.

[SouBeachTalents]

1987 Lakers were the most stacked team of all time IMO

Magic at his peak, winning his first MVP
Still effective Kareem, who just came off an All-NBA First team selection the season before
Worthy coming into his own, eventually surpassing Kareem as the second scoring option that season and leading the team in scoring in the playoffs
Byron Scott, who would go on to average 20 ppg the next two seasons, as the 4th scoring option
DPOY in Michael Cooper

STACKED

[Magic 32]

They were kids.
