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?

With no clear #2 or team need at this point, this is probably what they will do. Long term it would probably be wiser to go ahead and deal him, but only if there is a definite pick/trade they have their eye on.

You have to plan ahead. Harden has zero chance of resigning with OKC. They need to think longterm.
Of the stars of their team, who is the one easiest to replace? Harden. And to that, Beal from Florida is a scorer who can probably come in and fill those shoes.
It's an interesting situation. Keep him and go for the repeat and risk getting NOTHING for him, or trade him for the #2 pick and take a player you think can replace him.
