Yeah, these stats are completely wrong. Harden is averaging 24 per game. So how can he be averaging 22 per 48 minutes (I assume he means 48 minutes because there is no such stat as per 36)? But if I'm following ol' grapenuts logic here maybe he's saying they want to go ahead and trade us Durant for Chandler and Jeremy Lin. I mean, the two of them average better stats per game than just Durant by himself, how can you lose?
You forgot to factor in Cole Aldrich's per 36 minute stats this year: 7.2 points, 25.2 rebounds, and 10.8 assists per game!
Adams - 3-4, 7 points, 4 boards, Lamb - 0-5, 0 points, 1 board, 2 assists Definitely Harden-esque production!
No, per 36 is, in fact, the preferred amount of time for stats extrapolation now (mostly popularized by basketball-reference.com), but yeah, the way the OP is using it is downright moronic.
