Why would they have to break their big 4 up? By the time they need to pay the 2 others Perkins will be in the last year of his deal and only 30, making $9M a year. I think they could easily move a 30 yr old expiring Perkins, or amnesty him at worse. Then shift that $$ to Ibaka.
Harden isn't just a who can get 15-17, he's legit all star level talent who can get 25 to 30 as well as create offense for others. Ask Morey how hard it is to get all star level talent.
Hmmm somehow the Thunder traded up for the Draft 2013 plus they got Lamb and Martin. Never expected we would have a chance to get Harden
I had forgotten about this debate I was having with heyp. It is now quite apparent that Presti read this thread and was convinced by my arguments. :grin:
I'll eat mine right now. I can't believe Presti did it. I was totally shocked (in a good way of course) by this deal. However, I think Presti made a serious mistake and will regret this happening.
