    Manu in his prime was the second best SG in the game, most would have traded tmac straight up for him so yes. Jason Terry, come on man that's not a good comparison.

    I'm not so sure about that, maybe McGrady, after 2007.

    this

    will allow for more touches for Harden/Durant, who are more efficient than WB (plus they can't afford all 3 and Ibaka anyway)

    then sign Nash to replace Westbrook

    Nash
    Harden
    Durant
    Ibaka
    #2 pick

    James Harden looks like a biblical character reincarnated.

    I would give him max money but I just wonder if his speed with his body type can hold up as he ages. He can get away with it now since he young, but he looks like a full back.

    His body type reminds me a lot of Brandon Roy.. its like he has Manu Ginobili's skillset in a Brandon Roy type of body.

    i really don't think so. if we had their spot in the east we'd be just as "successful" as they are.

    I hope they keep Harden so we have a small chance at landing Ibaka, the only elite shot blocking center who can even come close to the 90s greats.

    Harden is a damn good SG but without someone to assist him, that sort of money is wasted. He is star level talent, not superstar.

    Westbrook maybe, Durant without a doubt but Harden while I see OKC valuing him over Westbrook for his defense is not a MAX contract guy for what he brings on the court.

    Ok I probably shouldn't put words in other peoples mouths, but I wouldhave made that deal. Manu. Had similar all around tools as Tmac but with enough mental and physical toughness for both of them.

    Right. But how long was his prime? Was his period of "prime" worth a max? Can a team led by Manu, without TD and TP and the like, win?

    Why wasn't he paid max?

    A reporter asks Westbrook in post-game interview "Is Harden a max player." lol

    Ibaka is a pf, but also plays center...

    And for all hos boneheadedness McGee is the lone elite shot blocking center... if he wasnt as dumb as a rock hed be a mutumbo type shotblocker...

    It's simple math. Is he one of top 20 in the league, if yes, he gets max.

    He'd be the best player on the Rox team, hell yeah he gets the max (under current CBA rules)
