Looks like James Harden has been To the Rockets for Jeremey Lamb, Kevin Martin and future picks. Plus... this is a general NBA thread.

Harden is a better offensive player, but Westbrook does give you some defensive intensity that Harden doesn't.

Their recent struggles have been due to lack of focus on defense. It's probably just a lull, but it's definitely not an area Harden would improve

I think Westbrook still has more upside left. Harden is a smarter basketball player than most people in the league. Westbrook keeps improving, but I see a whole lot of room for him to grow. It is a tough decision though, and I'm sure it was weighed both ways. They are both all-star caliber players so I'm not sure there is a right answer.

The mismatch of colors is the worst part to me. I don't really understand why they need to reinvent the basketball uniform. They say so kids will wear them? I've seen plenty of kids wear jerseys. I'd like to see the meeting that spawned this idea. I have an idea! Lets make T-Shirts and charge jersey prices! BRILLIANT!

For the Thunder, I'd rather have an elite PG playing with KD than an elite shooting guard. Even now Westbrooks offensive production is only marginally worse than Harden's and he plays as the 2nd scoring option.

It's the way I go too, but it's not a no-brainer.

Westbrook could be unstoppable. His combination of pull-up jumper/getting to the rim is borderline unfair.

That being said, I still love James Harden. I would have paid the extra 5 million or whatever and kept that core intact.

But completely disappeared in the finals, except a game or two.

I mean they got a bunch of draft picks, Jeremy Lamb and Kevin Martin in the deal so I really think it will work out for the better.

Nice run by Golden State to make it a game.

Right when I switched the channel after it looked liked the Spurs were going to pull away

Jack has to be in the comeback player of the year, and 6th man discussion. Never thought much of him, but he's been great this year.

okcchief · 02-22-2013, 11:59 PM

Jack with a bigtime shot to take the lead.

And he just hit what could be the game winning 3.

What a ****ing play call by Pop to tie it up. Going to OT. Great game!
