Official 2013 NBA Draft Thread

The harden trade wouldn't have been worth it even if they got a top 5 pick.. It's just they knew they couldn't keep him so they tried to get the most they could.. Probably would have been better to wait til end of year and trade him for 1st pick
That's my thing the while "knew they couldn't keep him" talk. If OKC would of been on a 20 game win streak with the #1 spot on the WC I don't think harden would of left so easy. Instead they gave him the finger and bounced him out ASAP. Doesn't matter now though

He def would have left for that max contract money

He was a restricted free agent (would have been one now) so OKC would have still held the cards.
I don't mind Adams. And don't be so sure he can't play soon, let's not forget Perkins literally just turned in the worst NBA playoffs performance in NCA history. If Adams can manage a 0 PER, that is literally an improvement. We could have gone McCollum there, but we already have Reggie and Olynyk was never in play because Presti likes guys with long wingspans. And yes, we massively lost the James Harden trade.
