I doubt Harden is the answer. In fact, I don’t think there is a shooting guard in the draft this year that really addresses what the Thunder needs. Harden is easily the best of the bunch, but he’s not very athletic, AND he’s undersized. Bad combination. For the long term, I would like to keep Sofolosha as a defensive specialist and try to sign Ben Gordon to provide the outside presence that will relieve some of the pressure on Durant.

Gerald Green will be a free agent this Summer, too. He could be a good player to take a flyer on. If anyone ever teaches him how to defend, he will be really good.

I’m hoping that the offseason will be as productive for Bullweva as it was for Green last year. Uncle Jeff had a similar drop off in FG percentage when he started getting more minutes, but look at him now.

I’d love Harden in Thunder blue.

Harden would be a real nice fit. Plays good D, is under control offensively, and definitely wouldn’t mind deferring to KD. Plus he could relieve Westbrook of some ballhandling duties. If you miss out on Griffin, Harden is a nice consolation prize.

A young Peja with be the perfect 2 for this team…play solid D and hit the open shots…

They say Harden is that kind of player…(in the draft)

Remember, Dez was no great offensive force either. Pretty much all season long, we’ve been using the 2 spot for defense mostly (not that we wouldn’t appreciate some offense if we can get/find it).

Dez did have a few nice moves, though. His post-up, back to basket, turn around and hoist a half-hook/half-floater. That was sweet. Not a move I’d expect to see from Weaver. (come to think of it, it was pretty suprising from Mason since he’s not a big).

@girlballer I meant that as, I'll give Weaver three years before I'm standing outside his front door with a chainsaw if he doesn't start knocking down those open looks.
