The more I think about it, and this video is proof, the more I realize Mitch Kupchak has been like a sublime poet, versing in the art of tanking.
James Harden had a bad year and looked unmotivated. James Harden still made history with his off stats. *made history with his TO's too. How scary can Harden be if he was actually dialed in at all times? If we can find out what motivates Harden this guy could be scary. hope this snub is motivation.
Most interesting: he seems to have already know about at least some players that are fairly certain to be brought in this summer. Durant aside, it's good to know we're covertly working on FA's already.
