Was the Harden Trade Worst One In NBA History?

[SilkkTheShocker]

A potential dynasty ripped apart because of cheap hick owners. Harden for Jeremy Lamb will live on in infamy.

OP is a Pu$$y. He disappeared after 2 for 5 in 2014 when i was owning his a$$ all playoffs guaranteeing the Spurs would win.

I was ALPHA and stayed here after the Cavs won.

Flight or flight and Silk runs away like a $itch.

Facts only.

1980:
Warriors get draft picks and get Joe Barry Carroll (Joe Barely Cares) and Rickey Brown
Celtics get Robert Parish and the draft pick to get Kevin McHale

A potential dynasty..........

Harden was horrible in the 2012 finals. Westbrook injured in 2013, Durant in 2015. They don't beat the Spurs this year without Adams. They might have won a ring in 2014 but dynasty? I think not.

Also how does Westbrook (never missed a single game of his basketball career outside of that incident) still get injured if Harden is still on OKC instead of Houston?

I've always felt that Dirk Nowitzki for Tractor Traylor was the worst ever, probably worse than the Warriors/Celtics mentioned above. Had Dirk went to Milwaukee, we are looking at a starting lineup consisting of S. Cassell/R. Allen/G. Robinson/D. Nowitzki/E. Johnson, coached by George Karl and a bench with vets like Tyrone Hill, Terrell Brandon, Chris Gatling and Dell Curry. That might of been the best Bucks team of the past 30 years, even better than the 80's Bucks.

I'm done arguing about the trade...enough has been said.

However, what ****ing dynasty?

They lost in 12...their defense was only getting worse...even if we ignore all the injuries (which is absurd)...

But even if we ignore that...

What year are they for sure winning?

They are 50/50 just to beat the Spurs in 13...then they have to beat the Heat
Probably are dogs to the Spurs in 14...
50/50 at best to beat the Warriors...
50/50 at best to beat the Warriors...then have to beat the Cavs

Dynasty? Hell no...even with full health...they likely only win 1 max.

harden lost his defense in that trade...

How does retaining Harden guarantee that Westbrook doesn't get injured?

Don't go down that rabbit hole. Trust me...

well the rockets wouldnt have faced them in the first round and beverley doesnt bump his knee. that almost certainly never happens. westbrooks injury wasnt some freak non-contact injury.

[Young X]

How does retaining Harden guarantee that Westbrook doesn't get injured?I don't understand how it makes sense to assume Westbrook, who was the most durable player in the league at that point, still gets injured in the same fashion if Harden doesn't end up on the Rockets. Houston likely wouldn't have even made the playoffs.

Tractor Traylor for Dirk
Vlade for Kobe (even if it was forced)
Gail Goodrich for Magic Johnson
Scottie Pippen for Olden Polynice


Just to name a few.

Forgot about that...what a one-sided trade that was.

I liked Tractor Traylor when he was at Michigan though. Sad how things turned out with him.

Ibaka for oladipo sabonis is worse
