Zogo posted:The reasoning back in 2012 (of the pro-Harden faction) was that Harden was already a demonstrably better scorer. Almost the best in the league even though he was young enough to be in the NCAA. I say this as a person who loves stats and numbers I don't give a gently caress what advanced stats you pull that was not true

Metapod posted:I say this as a person who loves stats and numbers The basic response to Harden's very efficient and very elite scoring was that he was just dominating garbage time. And if he started games without RW and/or KD he'd be exposed and look bad. I was here...I remember it. code:Yoshi Wins posted:Thanks! No problem.

I mean you don't have to use a lot of advanced stats to see Harden was really efficient His splits were 49/39/85 The question was "can he do this on high usage?"

Spacebump posted:But why not amnesty post Finals injury Perk? Despite Tae, that wouldn't have bought them much time given the cap projections at that time and they would have headed for a nasty run of tax. Definitely a thing that they should have done, but it would have been expensive. I thought Harden was a good player who wouldn't look great without Russ and Durant. I was completely wrong but I don't think it was completely indefensible. They did offer Harden a contact a bit under Max that would have bought them an extra year too (which would have done the same thing as stretching Perkins). The dumb thing they did was pulling the trigger on trading Harden when he had one more year on his rookie contract.

I absolutely hated Harden when he was at okc but he was a killer. He was basically Manu reborn, and as a Mavs fan, I dealt with way too much Manu for my liking.

People can litigate how good the trade was, or the coaching of the team, or anything really, but not Harden leaving, that was ordained.

He was an RFA, and I think he even said he was happy to keep coming off the bench as long as he got a Max contract. https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndic...hunder.amp.html

Lockback posted:He was an RFA, and I think he even said he was happy to keep coming off the bench as long as he got a Max contract. That's what he said at the time, but new facts have come out, he did not want to be on the bench or split possessions with Russ and KD. It's one of those sports things where the truth only comes out after everyone has stopped caring about something.
