    I just think it is quite ridiculous that Lakers fans are claiming they offered the Pelicans the world for Anthony Davis and nothing will compare to their package. Of course, I was one that thought Francis, Mobley, Cato were too much for McGrady

    Wasn't there 4-5 other teams that turned down Presti to dump Harden?

    In fairness to the "fleecing", Steven Adams and Andre Robinson helped compliment Westbrick by creating a defensive culture for the team. They could've kept Kmart if they weren't cheap.

    I once thought adding a second 1st rounder was too much for Harden. Whoops.

    He was on the dream team. OKC was offering a slightly less than Max. They knew he was a good player, but their owner was cheap. I think presti wanted klay, beal, or love before coming to rockets. Morey got lucky that you have a cheap owner and a bunch of other GMs who overvalued their talent.
