    If Harden wasn't dating a Kardashian would he have even hurt his ankle?

    I trust Morey could have built a team around Westbrook if that happened. I don't know how though. I'm still trying to envision a successful team around Russ that doesn't include 2 MVP's and a couple lottery picks off the bench.

    We should bag you up and ship you to OKC for asking that.

    Why would the answer for this ever be yes. I also don't understand the fascination with AD and Greek Freak. Just what success have either of them carried their teams to?

    It has been my opinion that trading Jim would be at best a lateral move. That being said, no I would not swap him for Westbrook. I now want Harden to be a Rocket for the rest of his career.

    Should have made it a public poll. Harden is a better offensive player and it's not like Westbrook is a good defender.

    You dont think okc would have won multiple chips with harden and kd as the core by now if they kept harden instead of wb and we will be on the threadmill of mediocrity with wb?

    ZERO GM would trade Harden for WB!

    Only GM that would trade Harden for WB would be a GM forced by owner to take WB to sell tickets.

    WB is nowhere close to Harden. NOWHERE.

    Harden lead his team to a WCF and the best player on the team besides him was DWIGHT

    You put Harden with 1 All-Star player and you have a 70 wins team.

    70 wins team...that is crazy

    And the last time he played with an All-Star, that team went to the NBA FINALS

    No Doubt. Look at OKC's team and Rockets team.

    THERE is no way Rockets should be a 70 wins team and OKC a 50 wins team.

    OKC have PG, Adams, and Melo
    Rockets have CP3, Clint, and EG3

    Our rosters isn't Golden Star star level rosters, but we're a 70 wins team. OKC barely a 50 win team with Russ, the MVP

    Remember the days when folks were advocating trading Harden for Kevin Love?

    We’ve had worse ideas here than trading Harden for Westbrook but still a hard no.

    Harden is poised to challenge Hakeem as the greatest Rocket of all time and a Houston legend. He’s gotta win a ring to get there but the guy is virtually untradeable at this point.
