Btw OKC got Kevin Martin who is a solid swingman and can also create somewhat off the dribble. Plus TWO first round picks. Is there even any debate that OKC got the better of the deal?

This isn't TWO NFL first round picks.. do you know how hard/often it is to acquire a 23 year old talent like Harden? Why wouldn't Morey pull the trigger on the deal?

They just traded a 23 year old player who blew up in his last year and was one of the most efficient offensive players in the league. And he plays the position in the NBA that is the most difficult to find currently. So yeah, I'd say there is a little debate.

Houston has been looking to let him go for a while now.
And the chances of landing a Harden-type player with the Toronto and Dallas picks are very low. OKC may pick up some okay talent, but it is still risky.
Jeremy Lamb may or may not turn out to be good. He was kind of "meh" in preseason.
OKC is taking a lot of risk while Houston is getting a proven player who is only 23 years old.
So yeah, OKC may have got more "things" in the trade (Martin, Lamb, draft picks), but they took a lot of risk, and Houston knows what they are getting. I'd say Houston came out just fine in the deal.

idk bro, Hollinger wrote today that the trade adds 10 wins for HOU and takes 4 away from OKC.
