Not retaining Harden over such a trivial amount (by NBA standards) is the single biggest NBA blunder of my lifetime. That team was, at least, a championship team; and possibly it was a DYNASTY team.
0:41 Respect to Harden for making sure Russ name was said early. It’s funny how people never say his name first when he’s the one who actually stayed with OKC during tough times😂😂
You make it sound like Russ did something commendable or honorable, and we should give him props. He stayed because OKC was able to pay him 30million money than any other team. Staying was purely a common sense, no-brainer business move.
We knew this and still couldn’t believe it then….4million for a 6th man of the year who plays like a starter…they deff would’ve got at least 1 together.
@ they didn’t because he chose 4 million over winning. You slow? His contending for champions left and he still has zero. And him leaving started Presti thinking of the next move beyond KD and Russ… which is the current roster with an even longer window to win the thing harden never got cuz he felt slighted Serge got what he didn’t.
@Masgrandejefe this current OKC team is not better than the 2012 OKC Thunder. I watched them boys smoke San Antonio before they got to the Finals. If they stayed together, they were winning at least the 2014 & 2015 finals no questions asked.
The fact that James said he would have refused to keep being the sixth man is why they would have never won a championship. What made that team so dangerous was having a player of his caliber coming off the bench to provide the spark. He would have most def played in crunch time so it wouldn’t have mattered. Manu Ginobli came off the bench is entire career and won multiple championships with the spurs. Everyone has a role to play. This is why James harden will never be an NBA Champion.
Ginobili's a great player, but he's no James Harden. He's not a league MVP. Plus, if you're going to ask an elite player to come off the bench, you still need to be willing to pay said player elite money. OKC wasn't willing to do that for Harden. So Harden went to an organization that valued him as an elite player. He made the right career decision.
I wish they would of stayed together that was one of my favorite teams, I was definitely going for them at that time James should had started SG that team would of been crazy , my favorite big3 of all time that never won a title together
Of all of the "sacrifices" he made, try sacrificing energy from the offensive end to the defensive end, and be willing to play off the ball. Ain't gonna happen.
Being born n raised in Oklahoma, it hurt to see this happened when it did. Oklahoma ain’t had no pro sports team worth watching until we got the Thunder. I was over the top excited when we got an NBA team finally for my home state
Those guys were still young, and they were at their best when Harden was at PG and Westbrook was off ball. Once Harden left I didn't blame KD for leaving. GS fit his style perfectly
You gotta listen to more players, preferably retired ones they say it's bout that bag more than the chip. As he says here tho he sacrificed for the chip and nothing came of it
@SwuadeTV I already know it's more about the bag. If it were me it'd be more about the bag too. That's y I said I get it. Just as a fan I'd want him to atleast make me FEEL like he needs that chip.
Melo was going for a chip! Couldnt get over the hump when he finally dod have enough pieces to beat the lakers i know u referencing NY but melo let Lala wanting to be in NY where she could further her career with the spotlight she got off of him. He knew the bag would come regardless he just made the wrong decision
This ain’t really a revelation - it was heavily publicized at the time, but it’s dope that the younger generation can learn more about how it went down.
That really didn’t have anything to do with it. And even if it did, Harden starting over Sefolosha would had to had happened at some point given how good Harden was becoming.
Right. Idk why he acting like he didn't have a part in the negotiations. In the new NBA, it doesn't matter if u start, u can still get starters minutes. It would've been better if he came off the bench bc he could've dominated. I feel like he wanted to be the star but who knows. It's different once it already established as a star to take less money but harden was still building his brand. 4 million is nothing to him today. I would've taken the hit bc players don't realize that as a star u can make more money off the court. These players depend too much on their sport to get paid instead of parlaying that money into more successful business ventures.
As soon as Harden got traded I said OKC was never going back to the finals. They was really petty over 4 million, which wasn’t even bad, 84 million instead of 80 million, but they gave up on him
@ Im sure the okc thunder said the same thing to harden lol That 4 mill put them over the apron so they were getting taxed so hard they werent able to build the rest of the roster or turn a profit
No, you won't get it back. Here is why: If you leave 4M on the table today and make 4M tomorrow, you will only have 4M when you could have had 8 M. That is a 50% loss. The team should have paid the 4M because the team doesn't have a profit cap and they have a bigger window for success. They should have invested that 4M on the team.
They kept kendrick perkins ffs. 😂😂 okc is an investment only type of owners. They just done the wrong thing by employing sam presti. They'll blow this young core up, especially if they make a finals run and / or win it all this year.
I hate how everyone blames OKC front office Harden could’ve easily taken a pay cut of 4mil and still could’ve resigned especially the way he be throwing money away he wouldn’t have missed it
Do yall know what a dynasty is? OKC never had a dynasty. You have to actually win at least 4 chips in a short while or a 3 peat etc. Miami wasn’t a dynasty with 1 back to back. 2 chips back to back or any other way don’t make you a dynasty. This era just keeps watering down true greatness over and over.
I think there was no way they were gonna keep all three of those guys happy I think they maybe would have won one championship. They were together during the superteam era they weren't far and away the most loaded team even with those three guys. I think the real issue is that the OKC front office never found the 3 and D guys to put around the stars. You look at those Miami teams they had Shane Battier, Mike Miller, Chalmers, etc. OKC already had Westbrook at PG and Perkins at Center. They Had KD and Harden but whether they lost Harden or not, they just needed way more shooting around those guys.
Lol one could say that Harden walked away from 2 NBA championships over $4 million... Sure, the Rockets could've paid up but James could've stayed. Tom Brady routinely took less so he could win Superbowls. Harden made over $350 million with no rings. He's part of the reason.
I don’t believe it was over 4 million he did not like the role okc had for him the truth is where he talk about coming off the bench. Shit I would love to see them get two rings
Bro, James took the KD Warriors 7 games. They would Glaze tf out of certain other players to the earth and back if they did even that lol The same people that say “Well look at who he played in the finals !” As an excuse to certain people losing in the finals, Are the same people that shit on James for not making the finals because he had to play those teams Before he could even get there smh.
Houston years he battled with GSW super team and Prime Bron at Brooklyn they screwed by Flat Earth Anti Covid Vaccine at Clips he carried entire hospital patient
Noooo James no. I can’t let him get away with that. Brooklyn is one thing… we don’t really know what happened to cause that blow up. James the reason it didn’t work in Philly is cuz u and your co-star didn’t show up. People thought y’all were better than the Heat you had 2 freaking points in the first half of the close out game 6 AT HOME and y’all lost. And then you’re up 3-2 with another close out game 6 AT HOME and y’all boys scored 2 points in the last 5 minutes of game time and if I’m not mistaken, they were Tyrese Maxey free throws. Sacrificing “didn’t work” cuz YALL AINT COME THROUGH LMAO
I also calling cap on the GS dynasty talk cuz it’s not just that y’all were up 3-2 in that series as well, but that next year you’re tied 2-2, KD goes down in the 3rd quarter you guys are up 10. Y’all lose that game go down 3-2… go BACK HOME and Steph Curry has 0 POINTS IN THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF!!! And you guys get closed out ON YOUR HOME FLOOR!!!! And don’t tell me you guys just weren’t good enough before that cuz in 2015 you had a 19 and 12 starting center with a championship level wing defender in Trevor Arriza and other good role players. You guys were in the western conference finals against a GS team that EVERYONE thought was about the same talent level as you guys. Steph Curry just proved to be BETTER THAN YOU. That’s why y’all lost. Those teams were about evenly matched that GS team wasn’t what they became the year after yet. It was Steph Curry and a lot of good players JUST LIKE YOU HAD. Nah bruh and I like James Harden but no bruh im not letting him get away with these lies
I don't think so. The biggest problem they had was Westbrook being the defacto pg. Harden was really their pg when he was in the game so he determine who got the ball based off who was hot and who wasn't and then call his own mumber when needed. So, he basically was the main thing that stopped Westbrook from messing things up.
This is one of the greatest what ifs in nba history.

I don't think so. The biggest problem they had was Westbrook being the defacto pg. Harden was really their pg when he was in the game so he determine who got the ball based off who was hot and who wasn't and then call his own mumber when needed. So, he basically was the main thing that stopped Westbrook from messing things up.
He actually played great in the finals James just admitted he played bad in the finals we gotta leave them narratives go
@@hybridbeastfitness2116Russ has one good game in those finals
@ what? He ace 27 7 and 7 are you ok? 😂😂😂y’all just say anything
@ he shot the most shots out any player that series, went 4/20 in game 5, also sold with that terrible foul in game 3
