Harden and Westbrook playing at MVP levels and we all know how good Durant can be. Should have let Ibaka walk and kept Harden. Would have won a title already.

Yup. Or let Durant walk. Harden and Westbrook are more then men, they are gods.

Harden is not a top 4 player until he mans up in the playoffs and doesn't choke like a scrub.

2014 playoffs: 27-5-6 on 37.6%

We rag on pension Bean for his chucking and Harden does this in the playoffs, among the notable late game chokes?

He's top 10, balling right now, but he needs to not play like an ass in the playoffs to be considered a true superstar.

Harden is currently putting up 27/7/6/2/1. 43% isn't that high but he is still consistently taking games over and dominating. His defense has gotten muuuuch better too. I don't know anybody other than Westbrook who is playing better at the moment.

Harden would never be considered this good if he still played on OKC. His current standing is as much situational as anything else

This. There is absolutely no way that we get to see Harden do anything like this if he was still on OkC. He is not as good as the other 2.

Harden + Durant would be better than Westbrook + Durant

Nah, Harden has become a Superstar THIS year... He was garbage last year and would have made the team worse. No chance to even compete with the Spurs with his ballstopping O.

So they wouldnt have won a ring for OKC yet..

Lol, in the playoffs sure, but dude did make the All-NBA First Team and finished top 5 in MVP voting last year, I'd hardly consider that "garbage"

Oh, I was only talking about the playoffs since OP said they would have won the title last year.

Pretty absurd. Don't know if they would have become a dynasty together, but seeing them run rampant on the Western Conference would get old, real fast. Hah

Now we have a Rockets team, who may or may not be contenders, but its still better than the alternative.
