James Harden traded to the Rockets!!!!!

<< < (8/9) > >>

Yes, that's what Jerry Buss woulda done.. If u want to build championship teams, u have to sacrifice money. Thunder made 30 mill last year and they're tryna stay profitable first and foremost. That's the main reason the trade was made.

Remedy360:
Funny, cause the whole becoming a small market team was their decision entirely and now they're talking about it like it's a curse. Overall though, I don't feel like Martin is as big a step down as some people think. Of course I hope you're right as much as I hate the organization, but it seems like everything Presti has done so far has worked out fairly well to great.

Kobe is already hurt. So I don't know why the Thunder winning the West is out of the question.

Sccit:

Kevin Martin is important to this trade because he's a gap for OKC. Martin is 29 years old, so he's getting to that tipping point, but for the next 2-3 years he'll be in his prime. The problem with Martin is that he is HORRIBLE on defense, and everything outside of scoring is lacking. He's a poor mans Ray Allen or Vince Carter. He's a pure shooting guard, he's score first and the rest of the game is what my teammates are for. If he could score better, he would have been an all-star. Don't get me wrong, he's a good scorer, but he is not 25 ppg. Where they'll miss Harden is that Harden can make game changing plays. Martin is not a game changer, he's a score first player who will get along with the rest of the roster but be out of place not being the first option. And this coming from a guy who usually picks up Martin for his fantasy teams because I know he'll get a lot of points. But his other stats suffer.
