I could of given you a better offer Yogi.
Yoki actually formally presented me with this offer. It was vetoed at first but we got around to re-working it because he had a very good reason for trading Harden.
I don't think I agree with this you trade the best SG when there is still some quality big men and some of these have gone unnoticed and might even be available in the 3rd round.
I'm not picking till 2.22. I expected the draft would be evened out with bigs and wings but the ran rough shot on the bigs. Even if I somehow manage to be patient and get lucky, then the third will be a free for all of good wings and guards, and I'm back to the same dilemma and end up with Harden along with decent pieces.
Harden is a franchise player no doubt, but Monroe is a very good player, he's highly underrated in this board (thanks BATF). If I play my cards right with my two 2nd's I can offset whatever Harden offers offensively (he doesnt offer much defensively anyways).
It came to a point where I'd rather have three very good players than 1 franchise, one good and one decent.
As of right now, the trade seems one sided, but last time I check I still have to draft in this round, twice might I add.
