    He did, but he has also eaten crow for it and admitted he was very wrong. So he deserves credit for that.

    But it'll still be hard to take his bball posts seriously for a while.

    Good man. Wonder how those 20% of the voters feel about the trade now. Never doubted this thread one bit since day 1. I actually had sleepless nights after this trade was announced because of how excited i was. ;) Love going back to these threads just to remind myself how i felt that day. :)

    i wondered why swee lou was so negative on harden at the beginning of the season. dude was rooting against harden just to be right. i used to do that with other players. i caught myself doing it with lin., you got let it go and just admit you're wrong.

    Here is another thread but I dont want to jam GARM with too many old Harden threads. This thread was two weeks pre-trade.

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=7180756

    I loved Harden before the trade! Roxxy and few others defended Harden too. Don't feel offended if I quoted you. Those who didn't like the trade can laugh about it with a sigh of relief!

    Great call, OremLK! Only missed Raptor's pick.

    This is what happens when you jump to conclusions before even watching the content.

    Changed my mind pretty quickly after that post (convinced by roxxy and others) (September post). I put too much weight on his Finals performance.

    I did vote YES in this poll.

    I totally misjudged his potential as a player; I had no idea he was this good. I was ridiculously wrong and very happy to admit it.

    Yeah I know. So did many others who were biased by his Finals.

    The rule hasn't changed. The players with the most FTA's are the best scorers in the league.

    No one will foul you if you can't score.

    The same fans who didn't think Lin was a starting nba player when he played his first month here. It is perfectly logical and reasonable to have doubts about what is uncertain. Harden was coming off of a 16 pt per game season where he played as a 3rd wheel and off of a horrible NBA finals performance. Who could say with absolute certainty that he would explode and put up 26 pts per game and be worth a maximum contract?

    Looks like I was 2 for 3 this summer (Loved the Harden trade and the Omer acquisition, not so much on Lin).

    Struck out on this one:(
