Trade Speculation: 'Cats No. 2 pick for James Harden per CBSSports Blog

[Kakarot]

OKC would be foolish to choose Harden over Ibaka. Harden's days are numbered as a member of the thunder. Only way I'd think about doing this deal is getting harden to sign an extension. I still don't think I'd do the deal, though

[RedMage138]

He's one of the two best young true SGs in the league, Eric Gordon being the other. If he would agree to sign an extension, I would make this trade without question.

[SOJA]

idk how I would feel about this

[Panthro]

I like his beard

[MrBubba]

So would ship Henderson out also or keep him as a backup??

[scarface]

I say no for one reason...that being he played his best against second units. In the series against the Lakers, Harden vanished when the Lakers matched up their first team against him. True Kobe was guarding him, but Kobe shut him down to the point Harden was just another body on the court

well he is Kobe.

Well, Hendo shouldn't be a starter in the NBA right now anyway... Regardless he can also play the 3.

[Captain Morgan]

after reviewing his stats, I'm for the trade. He's a sure thing. MKG may be a superstar someday, but

he's too young to help. I actually think we can build around Harden. Plus, he's a good 3 pt shooter.

He brings a lot to the table.

How much would it suck to be Harden if he gets traded to the Bobcats? Granted millions of dollars can change a lot of attitudes but he will get millions from any team.

[King Taharqa]

Say no to Harden. He works well as a sixth man in OKC, but he dominates the ball, has 2 go to moves, and sucks as a defender. Dude has taken Ginobili's titles as the flopmaster of the NBA. Dude falls down everytime he has to guard somebody or whips his head back anytime he gets in the lane. I dont think he would be as effective on a team where he has to be "the man" night in, night out. We'd be better off keeping that #2 pick and getting a big out the draft.

[SOJA]

New fantasy that would only happen in video games

#2 pick- draft MKG or Robinson (whoever you prefer)

Sign Roy Hibbert and sign James Harden

Is this possible? HELL No, but its fun to think about a lineup of:

PG- Kemba/Augustine

SG- Harden/Henderson

SF-MKG

PF-Biyombo

C-HIbbert

or

PG- Kemba/Augustine

SG-Henderson

SF-Harden

PF-Robinson/Biyombo

C-Hibbert

maybe I'll just go buy a video game and do this

KT hates him.....I am now on board.

Make the trade for Harden.

[Captain Morgan]

but only if he agrees to the extension.

[Kakarot]

Trading our #2 for Harden would be a terrible move. Like KT said, Harden is best coming off the bench in a 6th man roll and not being the main guy. Harden is going to be overpaid by some team, I just hope it's not us. Keep the #2 and get Barnes or Robinson
