James Harden to Houston = Worst trade in NBA History
Name me once in NBA history a team with dynasty potential WILLINGLY pissed away an opportunity to develop a homegrown super-trio just to avoid ponying up the real dough that is required of all championship teams.
Heck, name me one time a team drafted three top 10 players and made the Finals with all of them under 23 years old.
A joke and third-rate organization OKC is. They ruined something that could have been very special. Instead they have glass knees Kevin Martin in his 30’s and scrub prospects that they hope will pan out to replace the current superstar 24 year old that is James Harden.

Lets not overreact. Harden + refs cost OKC the title after all.

Re: James Harden to Houston = Worst trade in NBA History
They could've kept him for a couple more runs and decided trade either he or Westbrook down the road to avoid the repeater tax rules. You don't break up a potential young dynast like that, that early.
They overreacted to the new the CBA. It was probably Clay Bennett putting the presure on Presti to make the deal.

Harden was the one pushing OKC in big games. Has less weakness than Durant, was their best playmaker, possibly their smartest player last year ... and ultimately the dimension that made them SO dangerous.
Houston traded a ton of pieces for him, but they got a steal. He might end up being the best player of the three before all is said and done. That sounds blasphemous given Durant's play. But the Houston situation is IDEAL for him to add and build a resume / legacy.
He doesn't have a second option as dangerous as UrkelBrook.

Re: James Harden to Houston = Worst trade in NBA History
If the Thunder offered him 5 million more he would have been locked up for 4 years. This is how I'm feeling right now.

Gasol for Kwame, and Vazquez for Pondexter were worse.

Re: James Harden to Houston = Worst trade in NBA History
Presti has done an amazing job with that squad any ideas to the contrary need to be squashed for bugs.
When he took over the Thunder was like 1-12 and they have built a league contender powerhouse. Yah everyone knew Harden is great but how much money do you pay 6th man?
1 trade and who knows how it will play out in the long run
