Haha, I feel you when it comes to 2k.

My main thing that irritates me about westbrook is he is too inconsistent. One game he will shoot 15-18 from the field and get close to a triple double, the next, 4-20 and a .25 assist/turnover ratio. I'm just tired of the sports media (ESPN, CBS) hyping Westbrook as an elite PG when I don't think he is. I think he is a good/borderline great PG, but he's overrated to me because people (Oklahoma and Sports Media) consider him elite.

Why would ESPN default stats to postseason instead of regular season? Apologies, a massive oversight by me.

But its still unreasonable to evaluate this trade based on the playoff results, since Westbrook got injured.

And you're also still overlooking the fact that they had to shed someone. They had no choice. My beef is not Harden vs. Westbrook, although i got sidetracked with that. My beef is calling this the worst trade in the modern era. I think thats a gross over-statement. Especially when you consider that Kevin Martin was a consistent 18-20 point scorer in Houston and Harden was a sixth man in OKC.

Along with the fact that they got a first round pick out of it and a couple young players in the deal as well. I'd Trade Harden all day for everything they got. I 100% agree with you.

grizzlles had the league best defense this seson, I think it hurt them losing rudy gay.. hes a very good player nd scorer. They have mark gasol. z bo, the pg is very solid , they need a tony allen to step up more. If they can get danny grieger from the pacers , some how they can go world championship..

the thunder need a better scoring bench, I would trade for Jamal Crawford from the clippers for kendrink perkins. he could bring offense off the bench. maybe even D. Jordan from the clippers for K perkins. Either way K perkins need to traded for some offense. I think they should try to green back from the Celtics ,but him and rondo is future of that team.

True, but Harden preferred the 6th man role. Yeah they had to shed someone, but I just feel like getting rid of Harden prevented them from winning a championship. I honestly think if Harden stays in OKC for 2013, OKC had a definitive chance at beating the Heat, given the year of playoff experience and the lessons they learned from the 2012 finals. Thats all

I'm know I'm a little late on this, and I'm not too sure, but didn't OKC trade Harden because they weren't satisfied with the amount of money he wanted, and they also had to re-sign Ibaka? Or did they just trade Harden because they could?

About your 3rd scoring option comment, I'm not sure either if Ibaka could be the consistent 3rd option at times, but during the regular season, Ibaka made 57.3% of his shots from the field, according to NBA.com, and in the playoffs he made half of his field goals. To be honest, he wasn't doing too bad until that missed layup at the end of Game 4.

It was a bit of both. Harden was asking for too much, but OKC didn't want to lose Harden for free either.

Why would the Clips trade their best scorer for Kendrick Perkins who is somehow worse on offense than Deandre Jordan? No one will trade FOR Kendrick Perkins without getting that draft pick, WHICH OKC isn't giving up. Also Rudy Gay is another pseudo star that gets super star money in the mold of other pseudo stars like Granger, and Iguodala. The dude shoots like 34% from the 3, and 45% overall, that's not good enough.

Quite the contrary. Thanks to the spam I figured out that he was running 3 teams. Thanks for playing, buh-bye!
