at all of the people saying that OKC blew up their team or gave up a sure chance at a championship. What people are forgetting in all of this is that Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka are locked up LONG TERM. There is no blow up there. Also, while they may be replacing James Harden with Kevin Martin, they are also replacing Derek fucking Fisher with Eric Maynor. They added a couple lottery pick caliber young players in Perry Jones and Jeremy Lamb and they got a couple nice picks for the future too. OKC is now and for at least the next few years.
K-mart is garbage most of the time. No idea why people are hyping him up. He's a one dimensional, injury prone, defensively inept guard who at times can get hot.

While i was intially sad about JH leaving, i think this move helps us long term. we get 2 picks, one could be 4-14(2-14 then top 1 protected) the other top 20 after this year and then unprotected. also we have lamb who if he works on his game like coaching staff says they will force him to, will be one of the better sgs in the league. defensively, he is a monster, he brings an entire different game then harden. he can come off screens , pin downs and off the dribble scoring. he's also a midrange scorer. same with martin , if hes healthy enough we should sign him to a 6-7 per year deal.. i think we won in this trade for now and the future.

Guess you never watched james harden , KM never had a ibaka or perkins at the rim waiting.

Think about my comment. You're getting someone significantly worse at everything except defense. Harden was by no means an outstanding perimeter defender, but he was tough.
Kevin Martin is going to get banged on and destroyed by everybody, and if his awkward *** flick shot isn't falling, you just have a dude chucking up shots. He makes noone on the floor better either. You're basically getting a Rip Hamilton with more range and less smarts.
Not even hating, but I'm surprised OKC fans are failing to realize how shitty this deal is. There's no way Kevin Martin will even come close to matching the output of Harden.

Kevin Martin has never played on a team with anyone of kevin durant caliber, and especially not BOTH kevin durant and Russell westbrook. he will be the 3rd/4th option behind/infront of ibaka , his role will be decreased just like hardens was. he will be getting wide open and efficient shots considering his best players are not the ron artests brad millers of the world. this is not a shitty deal we got freakin Jeremy lamb and lottery picks out of this who is arguably the best sg in the class. the magic got who?
a career 40% three point shooter who made his name on D and can take over a game offensively in spurts. in other words, the perfect compliment to KD and Russ.

im not a fan of him off the dribble , but they still got fucked iggy>>>>>>>>>affalo bynum>>>>>>>>>>affalo they didnt get nothing they got fucked.. and i think lamb can be just like affalo but better.

no doubt.
but I'll always have love for Afflalo, I saw breh grow from being a poor mans Dahntay Jones to the very good all-around player he is today. I would never **** on him to big up the new guy like some fanbases out here.
kmartin is gonna be playing against the other teams backups now, his offense should be fine he can contribute just as good as harden there. also maynor can pick up any losses on the distibution end of it. Defensively they already got thabo and as far as clutch where was harden's clutch in the finals?
