Read it a few minutes ago. They couldn't have predicted the salary cap being what it is, but given the present reality, damn. Keeping all four with have been huge, especially if Harden learned to how play D.

Harden wasn't going to play D. He just was never going to do it.

And I think a big part of Harden's leap forward is the fact he's now the main guy on a team. He might not have gone much further than he did his last season with the Thunder had he stayed with OKC.

I also have to ask: if they keep Ibaka and Harden, and don't win a championship, then what do you do? You are completely strapped to 4 players with no wiggle room. Yikes.

He never will. It's about effort more than anything and he isn't even willing.
