Lowe is great..and fwiw Harden's defense offends me, but to cheap out one of the most loyal fan bases and not at least take a shot at it is unfortunate. We'll never know.

And the depth is what pushed this thing over the top for Presti based on the data he had available at the time. He's a Spurs guy: they value depth. Again I'll ask: What the hell was OKC supposed to do if they maxed Harden AND kept Ibaka and couldn't win a title? You're fricked at that point and forced to deal somebody. Probably for less than they for Harden to boot.
Nailed it, IMO. The depth does become a huge concern for that team, and to a degree they are hamstrung with 4 big contracts like they would potentially have. Good point.

I'm not reading this article, but if it opines that dumping Harden for .10 on the dollar, and keeping Ibaka, was the right move, than the author should be fired.

What do you think they could have gotten?
Remember, this is not NBA 2K.
