    I guess that's my point it was totally different reasoning between Harden and Ibaka. Harden wasn't seen as someone who can "cancel out" any of the heat superstars. OKC honestly thought WB, KD, and Ibaka plus KMart had a chance again Lebron, Wade, and Bosh plus their role players

    if Ibaka was seen to have cancelled out Dray who was GSWs 3rd best player, why would they not retain Ibaka and go for another championship run especially knowing that Barnes will leave?

    Gotta ask Sam Presti. Most gm's would take a team with Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Harden right now.

    On the GS side when comes to individual matchups the only guy that's ready for that on a one on one street level is Kevin Durant. Before Durant got there Cleveland exposed that in the finals and OKC did to a lesser extent. Getting Durant is what aided them whem games really break down in the playoffs. Curry started to get ate up by Kryrie on a island and Green on a island against Lebron was embarrassing especially after Bogut got hurt. Add Durant who occupied Lebron... it puts them all in place to play a team oriented game of passing and shooting their pretty jumpshots again.

    i think that a team with a mature harden, westbrook, durant, and ibaka would defeat the warriors without KD.

    yeah a team with WB, KD, & Harden even without Ibaka wouldn't have been swept 3 games by GSW after being up 3 to 1

    Looking at a match up between two teams by having one player cancel out an opposing player is most definitely not how the game is played or coached.

    Capela don't have the ball skills to have an advantage on draymond. The only way we can have an advantage on draymond is if we play above the rim on draymond with Capela. No bounce passes, no post ups. Quick lobs only
