    One observation from watching too much basketball. Kylie Irving is a star. He posted someone up last night, faked right, and did a Shaq jump hook over his left shoulder. What 20 year old PG can do that? In fact, what 30 year old PG can do that?

    Cliff Notes version: Harden turns down 54 mil and gets 80 mil.

    On paper OKC could have done worse, but there's no way to spin this as making the team better this year. I could understand it if they were rebuilding or a fringe contender and needed the bodies, but this team was in the Finals last year. They don't need bodies, they need to beat the Lakers in the playoffs, and today they're less likely to do it than they were last week.

    I guess the Thunder management did what they felt they had to to do, but dang, stepping back from a grab at the ring must be hard for their fans to swallow.

    There's no guarantee with prospects, especially in the NBA. Harden might have disappeared in the Finals, but he's a proven player. I cannot believe OKC let him go. I don't know the ins and outs of luxury taxes, contracts and whatever else, but I know they're really overpaying Kendrick Perkins. If anyone was expendable it'd be him...but yeah I don't know how they would go about that. For the best team in the West to let a guy like Harden leave just blows my mind.

    And Houston is a lot better with this deal.

    Oh and Mike Brown is terrible lol. Princeton offense with the players he has in LA? Just thinking of that should be enough to get fired. That offense is designed for teams with inferior talent to compete, not for a team with Steve Nash, Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant. They're a mess right now.
