    Clearly, any time you have a chance to give up the best SG in the league to keep KPerk in your roster you absolutely must do it.

    So you're asking if 2 role players for a superstar is a fair trade? Or if receiving 2 role players for a superstar is a good trade? Whoever gets the superstar wins imo.

    Oklahoma didn't want to pay harden the max, and we gave them the best package. We gave them a 20 point scorer, a very good prospect in Lamb, and a high first round pick. It's not what Minny got for Love, but Love was more proven, and Cleveland had know leverage because there was pressure from Lebron to win now.

    I just wonder how many times a week OKC's GM (Presti, right?) thinks about this trade?

    Sure, lots of people didn't think he'd be ALL-NBA, but very few thought he'd be Parsons.

    He still looks lost sometimes but you can tell he's made huge strides in his game.

    Even if they become all-stars, it doesn't justify giving up an arguably top 5 nba player

    Don't forget to add Mitch McGary to that list.

    Good point. To bad he hurt his foot. The guy can be a very good NBA player if he stays out of trouble. He has an NBA body with NBA skills.

    OKC gave up on Lamb midseason last year.

    And Jerome Lamb had a whopping 8 DNPs in the playoffs last year and 2 more complete zero box score line games. 47 seconds and 1:21 of complete zeros

    So basically 10 DNPs in the playoffs.

    This thread is stupid.

    There are some people who are just so desperate to justify the Harden trade for OKC. I find it funny, really.

    That's what people said when Memphis traded Pau Gasol to the Lakers for Kwame Brown and the 2nd round rights to Marc Gasol. I'd say it turned out pretty well, you never know...
