OKC Trade is a glimpse into our future

Harden is a better defender than both of those players and a more prolific scorer in limited minutes. Harden can create with the ball in his hands. K-Mart can't do that and Lamb has not shown that ability in the NBA yet.

Agree about defender but scorer? You guys seem to forget that K.Mart averaged +20pts per season 6 seasons with one season at 24.6pts and over 40% shooting on 3pts and 90% on FT!!! Hardens best season was last with 16.8pts average. Please, K.Mart is elite scoring SG in NBA, OKC won't miss a beat on offense with him. 24.6pts per game average and can't create with ball in his hands? WTF???
 
Kevin Martin is a very ideal SG/SF to complement Maynor. Toss in PJIII, Lamb, and Collison into the mix, and you've got yourself a good bench.

Im assuming they'll roll out:

Westbrook
Sef
Durant
Ibaka
Perkins


Maynor
Lamb
KMart
PJIII
Collison

Guys, this roster is ten deep.

Which was his third, and most recent season. Come on dude, you're not this stupid.

All of them for crap teams. Guy has never won a thing.
 
OKC has 2 very good players. They need solid players around them. If they get a solid young player for cheap for the next few years, a solid scoring punch off the bench, and some cap relief, thats not a bad deal. Isn't Harden the type of player that does best with the ball in his hand? Lamb is more of a catch and shoot player, so he might fit better with westbrook and Durant. I don't know that they will be netter next year, but they won't be much worse.
 
As for the title of this thread, one thing hasn't been mentioned: Kendrick Perkins. Not only did OKC give Durant and Westbrook MAX's, give Ibaka a big extension, but they're also paying Perkins $9 million per. The Jazz, if they continue to play their cards right, won't have this problem. ALL the contracts outside of The Four are coming off the books to make room for their extensions. If OKC wasn't paying Perkins big bucks, they would have managed to keep Harden. We can keep all four of ours, if they prove to be as good as we think.

And do I argue that he is not going to improve? Point was to remind you guys that K.Mart is one of elite shooting guards in NBA and to claim that he can;t create with ball in his hands is pure ignorance. See how many of SG's still playing in NBA had 6 seasons with 20+pts average just for your own curiosity. I sometimes wonder if some Jazz fans even follow any other teams in NBA besides Jazz.... seriously.
