Serge is the priority over Harden. They may want to sign another big in free agency as well and that may make Harden expendable. I'm OK with that.

OKC needs Harden to step up... Not only that but they need to get their act together on the boards. 3's killed them last night too.
Their whole offense changed throughout the game as well... They were at their best in the 1st quarter when they were playing uptempo team ball... After that their offense (Besides Westbrook) went flat.

By that time, OKC is on the hook for $48 mil without extensions for those 2.
The luxury tax is $70 mil now, and it increases along with revenue.
Assuming 4% growth in revenues (not profits), it could be as high as $76 mil in '13-'14.
That gives them $28 mil to split between those 2 guys and if Harden accepts lower than the max, OKC may even be just under the tax after signing him & Serge.
If the squad keeps making runs to the finals, at the very least Bennett can pay the escalated tax for the 2 seasons that OKC will be over the tax limit, which ends at the conclusion of the '15-'16 campaign. Or if Bennett deems the more-than-doubled luxury tax penalty too much for '15-'16, he can make trades just before that season to get OKC under the tax threshold.
If he makes trades just before the '15-'16 season, then counting this year's run that will have given OKC 4 runs together with this core, which is plenty.

That's with Perk.Originally Posted by itsaboutthattime
is this with or without the last 2 years of perkins deal.. because amnestying him is another move i see us making after next season (or whenever we start offering those guys contracts)
which would free up:
$8,477,437 and $9,147,342 for each season
Everyone respects Magic as one of the greatest players of all-time, but that comment there is proof enough that being an all-time great does not mean you know how to be an analyst. It's been obvious for some time now, that Russ has to play the way he does for OKC to win, people just "now realize" when he shoots 62%. People like Magic get too caught up in making some huge statement and soundbite in their analysis and you get nonsense like that. The criticism that he can get out of control and he struggles as a PG are completely warranted and fair.. but this whole "he takes too many shots" or "he needs to pull back the aggression" is ridiculous because he's always played like this and that's how OKC found success.Originally Posted by SHUGES

Magic did a complete 180 as well. "I now realize Russell Westbrook has to play this way for the Thunder to win. He was sensational. Go on Russ, you play your game and don't listen to Magic!"
