    Please people, Presti is one of the best GMs in the league. This trade isn't going to hurt him in any way in OKC and his job is not on the line. Harden wasn't going to sign for less than max so Presti got a deal done and moved forward with a championship contending team that he built.

    He replaced a Harden with a 20ppg scorer and got some nice draft picks.

    Awesome. Use that anger to drop 40 on your former team.

    If Morey would ever do that, people on here will go nuts :) It's stupid move by Presti, who knows, Harden could've slept on it and talked to Durant, other players, friends & family about the offer. Presti is a good GM but this was a bad way to go about this.

    The way I see it, you never trade a superstar. I don't care if the thunder can afford to pay Harden the max. You find a way to keep him.

    Worst case scenario, Kendrick Perkins gets amnestied, (useless in the finals). Make no mistake, OKC dun goofed. You don't think Presti would like a do-over if he had the chance?

    All I needed to see:

    "Now, I'm back to my old ways: Needing to be the leader, needing to score. In any situation, I'm going to be good."

    It's natural to be upset when you go from where you are comfortable to somewhere that feels foreign to you. He obviously was happy after the trade happened, or else he wouldn't of agreed to extend his deal.

    An extra 26 million cures everything James.

    True but I also think that the owners of the thunder simply didnt want to pay.They run the thunder like a buisness there revenue more than made up for the hit financially. When you have a group of owners who dont want to go over the luxary tax it makes it alot harder to sign someone.

    What about the rumors that Harden was traded because he was hitting on his teammates girlfriend(s)? Will everything make sense if it's true?

    LOL


    Damn, Presti is cold-blooded. I would be hurt if I were Harden too. But whatever, $80 million.

    I like that he seeks God in prayer before making major decisions, this time he was blessed and so was the city of Houston!

    Praise The Lord!
