Kinda interesting that some of Harden's teammates, who were starters with their old teams, are coming off the bench now and are playing better team basketball... |
And besides Ryan Anderson everyone else they got at below market value due to the players age, injury history, etc
They have been dangling Beverly in trade talks for years, Nenes knees are shot, Eric Gordon never played 70 games in his life, Trevor Ariza has been in the league since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, hes so old his first Rockets stint was with Yao and TMac (I know hes only like 31 but my point is hes a journeyman), same with Lou.
These guys are literally spare parts and I refuse to say because old bum Nene is outplaying 100 million max contract Steven Adams that Harden gets no credit and the Thunder have a worst cast.
The market for what those guys get paid on the Thunder say otherwise, I guess Presti is just an idiot for handing out 80 million dollar contracts like they are jellybeans to anyone and Morey is god for assembling spare parts and a bum coach and telling Dwight to go away.
