Yeah we should have kept Harden, made that trade for Chandler, kept Green for the bench, and given Russ an adamantium skeleton duh Presti you idiot
Wow reading the rest of the comments I can't believe how much slurping Brooks is getting. Is the bar that low? Sorry but it shouldn't take a coach 4 games to make adjustments, especially a coach of an elite level team. That's like congratulating a father for not abandoning his children.
this sucks
@tygablood sick troll
@lmp5336 @delolama If Harden walked at the end of the year then "we lost" pretty badly then too. Just seems everyone thinks there was some magic mystery trade out there Presti could have pulled off, when really this was the best out there. You can always loose players when you are up against the cap, that's just the reality of being a small market.
just to clear up I'm not saying the trade was a miscalculation at all, just referencing what others were saying.
Harden is a good play maker, but the reality is he wasn't a good play maker for KD or Russ. When they all three played together it was mostly just isolations. Kevin Martin fits better with this offensive system (or lack of a system) because he is just a better spot up shooter. Obviously KD+Russ+Harden had the potential to be amazing together but the coaching staff certainly did their best to handicap that. Presti making the trade and getting two 1st rounders and a 2nd and a great replacement for Harden AND the POSSIBILITY of signing that replacement for something reasonable was a great trade. If Kevin Martin walks, sure you can call that a miscalculation for Presti but it's not in the top 100 worst GM moves of the last few years.
@PerkPunt @justin_mia you don't trade a rookie contract just for the sake of moving someone
How exactly can Maynor go to the D-League Darnell?
@Legendary_Dork @f5alcon "That’s now about to change, Brooks said, starting with Friday’s game at New Orleans"
Always have either Durant or Westbrook on the floor?? Of course!!! Brooks you genius!!! Coach of the century!!!
@elginthunder staggered rotations as has been explained here a million times. Brooks is the anchor on this team and we can go back and forth on this issue or that but it's not gonna change until he is gone.
How is brooks proven right for not starting harden?
@C-Wil well that's not what I said at all, and I am happy for Harden to get that kind of money. You told "these people" how badly they fail at understanding that 80 million would be waiting for Harden at the end the season when that isn't the situation.
@C-Wil what you fail to understand is a how a contract extension works
deport Thabo
it breaks down to the organization chose Brooks over Harden
@f5alcon feel like there was an oil company out there willing to make up that measly amount in commercial money
