To me, Harden is the most exciting finisher on the team. I like his dunks.

@Osano-Whoa Great way to put it in prospective.

@Chas Thanks for clearing that up, I was really thinking that urban dictionary thing was what was meant. Lol

Did anyone besides me see the show about the ‘Shot Doctor’ working with Derrick Rose. The focus was on rose and how he needed to improve his shooting. Guess who else was there…Westbrook. Working on his shot. Just throwing that out there for those who thinks he needs to work on it. Not disagreeing, just a comment.

@justin Yes. It would be helpful to beef-up our front court. But add Griffin to this team and remove Harden, and I still see people complaining that this team is "one talented guard away..."

I would trade James Harden straight up for Blake Griffin (bigger need on the team), and I’d have to really consider Tyreke Evans. I don’t think James Harden is as talented as Evans but he probably fits better next to Russell Westbrook in the long run.

@Osano-Whoa
I think that’s really well said. He does everything so efficiently that it’s nearly boring. Harden’s game already resembles a seasoned-veteren, and he doesn’t at all display the unbridled (and often ill-advised) athleticism that people expect from younger guys (see Russel Westbrook).

Here’s a question: would you trade Harden (straight up) for any other player in this rookie class? I’m an OU student, and I would still be reluctant about sending Harden away for Griffin. I would be so sad without him now!

Sometimes when I watch Harden I feel like people think he’s not athletic because he’s so smooth. It’s like there’s no wasted movement, and people are equating non-frantic with non-athletic.

I think it might mean “doing it” and I was just joking with the urban dictionary thing. Pretty sure that Martz was just making light of how you were using tweet language in that prior post.

@MartzMimic Sorry man, but i'm still wondering if that word "doint" was meant to disrespect me if not, let me know what you meant by it. @Danny Harden is defintely underrated at the moment, but it could be the lack of TV time. Once the Thunder gets more media, I believe even when fans are able to look back at us drafting him, they'll say to themselves that he probably was the second best pick in the draft after Griffen.
