I am just waiting for a Thunder Rockets starting 5 (Beard, Ibaka, Brodie, KD and Green) to get introduced in OKC for just one game...and then win a championship. It is destined to happen. It would be the greatest troll of all time.
Sam Presti deserves an "F" as a general manager for not doing anything in his powers to keep those 3 dudes that went on to become MVPs. Don't even care about the excuses, it's his job as a talent evaluator to persuade his owner that they were all worth it. More specifically, trading a generational talent like Harden at the "ripe" age of 22. Who does that???
Jeff Green on the team. Ibaka later joins. Scott Brooks leaves the Wizards, and come as an assistant coach. The Houston City Thundering Rockets.
Is there a reunion in near future? And I'm not talking about Ibaka! Just glad to see the reconciliation between great friends.
it was a mistake but no one could have predicted that harden would be this good, even Morey, considering how they already had enough offense and needed Ibaka more. Small city salary cap issues.
