    would suck if the Thunder got a pick that high


    i would have given up D-Mo instead of that draft pick

    not trolling either

    Sam Presti would have hung up the phone then.

    Because Harden is still worth it.

    It's a minor ankle injury. Check the damn reports. He'll be back. Not serious and Harden is definitely worth giving that pick up. Also, Calderon can fill the void somewhat. With a healthy and solid frontcourt, the Raptors will respectable this year. Look for them to get the 14th pick.

    Oh crap, that looks just about as bad an ankle roll gets. Hope he'll be ok.

    Harden is a top 5 SG at the age of 23.

    Nuff said really.

    Would you rather have Harden or the possibility of the 4th or 5th pick which is likely to be Isaiah Austin or some like talent. I'll take the Beard hands down.

    Since the pick is top 3 protected this year we would have no shot at Shabaaze

    The Toronto pick was the key asset of the trade coming back to OKC. Deal doesn't get done without it.

    Misleading title. The OP is not about the Toronto pick. It's about Lowry's injury.

    Hope the Rockets pick up PG Lorenzo Brown with our likely 10-14 pick.

    Right now the Raptors keep their pick. So the Thunder may just have to wait which by then they might have a team. Still way too early to cry "why?". And Harden I dare say that Harden is better than whoever the Thunder finally do get to pick.

    Your information is bad, your opinions are bad, your OP is bad, your posting is bad.

    Lowry has confirmed to have a not the least bit serious lower ankle sprain. He is already listed as day-to-day and has a good chance of playing tomorrow against the Sixers.

    I'm surprised at the amount of Lowry "white knights" coming to protect his honor. Not upset, just surprised. Considering Lowry has a bad rep of fighting coaches and forcing his way out of teams.

    This is more about just being disgusted by people who are literally inventing false information and what is commonly called "concern trolling" about the severity of Kyle Lowry's injury in order to invent some backdoor way to criticize Rockets' management.

    This is probably the most disingenuous thread I've ever seen on Clutchfans.
