re: Great article on Ibaka, Harden, and the Thunder by Zach Lowe

Harden has been better than anyone thought and the cap/tax rules changed without any heads up. That sucks.
BUT
The Thunder very well may end up being just fine long term due to Steven Adams, Lamb, and flexibility. Consider this: Adams is leading the NBA in blocks per 48 this postseason. Couple that with Ibaka being 3rd and that's just absurd. Lamb has been up and down but there's still plenty of hope he can be bench help. Plus, Reggie Jackson would never have had the opportunity to shine with Harden in OKC.
Spooky to see Harden go and do so well, but I get why OKC did it. And I'm a homer, love Sam Presti, and choose to remain glass half-full on it.

Consider that during the regular season he had more fouls than FGs.

With Harden you don't need Reggie
To address your earlier question, who can say whether Harden would have continued to progress? I'd think he would have, but probably not with the drastic leap we've seen now that he's "the man."
No friggin' clue about his halfass D. I agree it's largely effort related. He needs to get over himself. If he wants to be a superstar he needs to realize that's pretty much a two way commitment unless you're someone like 'Melo.
