Did the Thunder make a mistake in the Harden v. Ibaka decision?

I don't remember the exact details of that situation but didn't it basically boil down to re-signing Harden or re-signing Ibaka?

Kinda seems like a mistake looking back now that they have Adams.

James demanded he get to CC so he could blaze his own path with one of the greatest franchises

Does OKC get Steven Adams if they trade Ibaka?

He wanted to do it on his own terms!! He said he didn't want to play with Durant and Westbrook anymore. James and Morey for President 2020.

I believe James wanted a bigger deal and OKC had to pay Ibaka because at the time of the deal he was a elite rim protector and they already had two all star perimeter players

They made the wrong call on Harden...but Steven Adams is a godsend.

The Thunder, assuming KD re-signs, look prime to win it.

The most amazing part is how he always refers to Houston as CC, Clutch City, in every single post!

They got the draft pick that became Adams in the Harden trade, so no.

They probably could have afforded both. That being said, do you really think Harden would have stayed happy and longterm with OKC? He would be the third banana on that team.

Also, why are people confusing Ibaka and Adams? Ibaka is only a center in a small ball lineup, he plays power forward most of the time. Shot blocking/rim protection from the power forward position is a unique thing to have, which allows you to play a defensively deficient player such as Kanter.

He is the GOAT troll. Doing it since 2004 and rarely breaks character. That's hard work.

The mistake wasn't picking Ibaka over Harden. That was the right choice at the time if they felt like they could only afford one of the two to be able to get more players.

The mistake was not getting enough in the Harden trade.

He used to be pretty good at picking his fights but man he really chose a bad one yesterday. From the very first post, it was all downhill for him.
