how is that an excellent point? you win the title, so you go trading one of your best players and mess with chemistry? unless I feel that Harden's gonna be a malcontent because of his contract, I'd try to keep my nucleus together for a repeat.
It's not the smartest move for chemistry but it's all about bringing in new meat.
Chances are, the OKC FO already has a pretty good idea on what they plan to do with Harden. If they don't plan on keeping, why not trade him for something valuable like the second pick instead of letting him walk for nothing?

no, it's about winning championships. and I feel like keeping Harden gives them a greater chance at that in 2013 than what a trade for the #2 pick might bring. of course, their FO may think differently (and somebody may make them a deal that makes sense).

no doubt there, Presti's wired that way.

see my above comment on winning rings.
also, I think the whole "lose him for nothing" talk can be overblown in certain instances, this being one. if he leaves but you got a ring or 2 with him, you got good value, you still have the core of a championship contender, life will go on. this ain't Durant leaving, or Shaq leaving Orlando.
