    Awesome. T-Wolves definitely going to be my 2nd team this year, that offense is going to be beautiful if they add Air-Bud. What other former Rockets should they add, Aaron Brooks, Scola, Landry? :grin:

    I am wonder less about how much this helps the Timberwolves and more how much this hurts OKC.

    Are they going to resign Pekovic? What's the deal with their cap space?

    OKC is going to be the 4th or 5th team in the West next year.

    Serious grounds to fire Presti for that trade now. The long-term implications of this trade for the Thunder franchise are unbelievable. They will waste KD and their shot at a title.

    LOL @ all the delusional OCK fans that thought Martin was going to be just as impactful as Harden on that team because of his scoring.

    Your GM broke up a team that could have been a dynasty for Perkins.

    PERKINS!

    PERKINS!!!!!!

    OKC this season was better than ever before with Harden in pretty much every statistical category(wins, offensive rating, defensive rating, margin of victory,...).

    Harden didn't average 25 ppg in OKC and he never would since his role would always be limited unless you trade Durant or Westbrook. He was an elite role player, role players are replacable and you don't pay role players max contract. Spurs got lucky to get Manu cheap for half a decade.

    Perkins had nothing to do with trade, Harden's new salary is next year so they would possible amnesty him this offseason, not last.

    I thought Martin is worth more. I guess he'll get a starter job in Minnesota. If he's happy, I'm happy for him. He's a classy guy.

    Rubio + Martin + Love would be fun to watch.

    Dirk Nowitzki for Robert Traylor on draft night is the most lopsided trade of all-time.

    I thought he said he loved Okc and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

    They prob didn't offer to match nor promised him more minutes and required him to be a bench player. Pretty crazy tho, from a legit contender to a team that didn't make the playoffs for cheap.
