    That's not true. The Thunder would be championship contenders if he wen't back to OKC and was #3 behind Westbrook and Durant.

    You could even make him the 2nd option somewhere as long as he was playing team ball and part of a system rather than trying to be the system.

    They wouldn't be ahh better than they are now. Team ball played by Harden? Lol. And what about his defense? Somehow his defense got worse this year.

    He's actually a capable defender, but he's lazy. The Thunder are alright right now, but they are weak at the 2 spot. If you add James Harden into the mix they would be championship contenders. Thankfully the Blazers realized that and forced OKC to sign a max to Kanter, which may come back to haunt the Thunder.

    To be honest, I'd rather have someone be bad but give effort than be bad and lazy. The effort is contagious to the rest of the team but so is the laziness.

    Eric Gordon out 4-6 weeks due to hand surgery.

    He's got an expiring contract and makes 15 mil. I'll take on his contract for the 37th and 38th pick. We get to the salary floor and save some money, and get two assets.

    37 & 38? I don't think the Pels have a second round pick. Bucks get the better of theirs or the Kings' pick, and the Kings pick is top-55 protected.

    What 4 players are you getting rid of in order to being in an Injured one and 3 second round picks (I assume we are keeping ours in this scenario)?

    Bogut looks like he's having back issues. He was a big part of the Warriors success in the playoffs. They are vulnerable on the Glass with small ball with Festus at the 5.

    We don't have a second round pick, do we? And the two incoming picks could either be packaged with other trade pieces or overseas stashes. No reason to worry about that now.

    What is Casey talking about here? I saw there was some ESPN Blazer trade thing on insider, could it be that?

    I sure was...he's slipping though...I have been a huge fan of Nico so just to let you know..seeing him start to check out is what made me eat crow the last half of last season..I voted for him to be an allstar in the east many times. Just thought it was interesting that he's a non factor mid season...he has usually had hot starts in his career that taper off as the season goes on
