but the only other young SG that comes to mind, is hurt ALL THE TIME (eric gordon)

Messed up question. I wouldn't be happy with just Russ or KD by themselves as #1 options for the rest of this season though. That completely changes the team, specifically for the role players and them having to step up.

I do understand questioning if Harden can be that #1 guy, if he can make other players better and all that but to tweak it I'd say OKC fans would/should be fine with Harden as the #1 option in any 4th quarter in a close game if KD and Russ fouled out/got ejected.

I guess you will never know unless it actually happened.
I don't think OKC could survive if Westbrook or KD went down long term. Maybe survive isn't the word because they would definitely still be in the playoffs, but not be a contender. They rely way too much on those two guys + Harden. Could they still win at a high rate if it was just Durant, similar to Lebron leading Miami when Wade/Bosh is out? I guess that would show if he's really on Lebron's level or not.

whats the problem? Pacers would be deadly with Ray

 

[nooera]

The point is Ainge is asking a lot for Ray.. he's not really trying to shop him like that.

Indiana passed quick .

I'm gonna be disappointed if there aren't any trades, even if it's Troy Murphy for Eddy Curry. There has to be something that happens

Ok, Now hes taking %%@% I said out of context. This is the last time im adressing the whole thing.
My first comment even mentioning Harden was in reference to the reports that there was a trade of Harden and Ibaka for Dwight. And all I said was that there were much better trade scenarios out there and that I dont know if I would feel comfortable taking Harden as basically my #1 scoring option. 

My man itsabouttime took that as I was bad mouthing Harden and apparently I dont watch basketball games and I dont know what Harden does. I watch plenty of games and havent seen a whole lot that suggests to me that he would be able to should the weight  of being that guy fro a franchise. That is all. The whole Durant and Westbrook comment just came as a hypothetical situation if he would be comfortable with Harden being his teams #1 option or if he would want the Thunder to try and go get a guy to be "The Man" because that would basically be what the Magic would be trading for is Harden as the #1 option. And all I said is I would much rather have a Bynum or Curry or Monte to work around than Harden. He got butt hurt because I said something semi negative about a OKC player even tho I have acknowledged in every one of my posts that I like his game and do think he is a good player. But he isnt the type of guy I would build a team around. 

If you disagree then fine you have your opinion and I have mine. But im not tryin to derail a thread that should be picking up in the next week with this talk about Harden. If you wanna continue you can PM me if its that serious to you. 

 

[scientific method]

FYI Harden had 33 tonight

 

[finallyfamous]

I hope some deals go down

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Harden = Manu 2.0

 

[|A-Man|]

At this point GSW should just trade Steph and keep Monta, no? or try to flip both to start rebuilding.

well if they dont trade him quick he may not get them anything the way hes been getting injured.

 

[sooperhooper]

I love this time of the season, I want to see some straight up blockbuster trades. Certain dealings could change the whole outcome of the season. Hopefully the Lakers get a new pg and some more.

I wish the Warriors would deal one of Monta and Steph so I'm not confused every time they're on the court together. I'm like what is Monta doing pulling up from 30 feet? Ohhh that's Steph. Somebody out of that light skinned duo needs to go.

 

[scientific method]

I was mad the Warriors announcers were dogging Nate the whole game like he hasn't been a Godsend for that team with Curry and his glass ankles. They were complaining about him non stop, even when he made a play and got a steal and fouled on a fastbreak layup, they're complaining he jump stopped and went off 2 feet

For real. They both light skin, but Curry is Tisha Campbell light skin, and Ellis...isn't

It's funny though, Chandler Parson' mom told him to cut his hair cause she couldn't tell the difference between him and Goran Dragic when

they're on the court together. not gonna lie, I couldn't either
