    The zombie sonic vibes I'm getting from the beard in this are just killing it.

    Red suits him better.

    It's crazy how much someone changes in a couple years.

    Saw Jeff green on the sideline. Could have played a line up of Westbrook, harden, Durant, green, ibaka.

    Would have rivaled one of the greatest lineups of NBA history.

    They didn't trade him for KMart. They traded him because Lamb looked the part of a really good role player, blew it up in summer league, and the Raptors pick looked to be a top 8 lock....

    Would have been just as stupid trading him for Klay Thompson or Bradley Beal...


    on second thought, this was more horrendous lol

    Pretty sure if Presti could do it again he would still make the same moves, he probably would have been more patient with it but I think Harden was tired of being the 6th man. He wanted to be a starter not the first person off the bench.

    The Thunder got Lamb, a pick we got from Dallas (or somewhere else), a one year rental in Kevin Martin and Steve Adams (who isn't half bad but give him some time to develop and he can definitely replace Perkins soon).

    Westbrook/Harden/Durant/Green/Ibaka sound great offensively but definitely not going to be a defensively good team.

    Man, if the Warriors would have traded for him they'd be crazy good. Imagine if it was Curry who was getting all the open looks Lin & Beverley get. :eek:
