Is It True that OKC offered Harden for Kanter?

[D Will Texas]

I read this somewhere, but I highly doubt it's true.

Would OKC really offer this stud to its division rival ? (i guess we did trade Maynor)

maybe jazz passed because Harden wouldn't sign extension with us?

Who knows, but very interesting.

I'd do that trade in a heart beat, and I love Kanter

Someone wrote it over here and i do not think it's true. Also whoever is GM no matter what, makes it happen when he gets an offer like this.

 

[Litany]

Thought so to but hearing more people say it wasn't on the table. I hear they needed someone to replace Hardens production and young prospects also. We have prospects but nobody to replace the production so I don't think it was there.

I wish.

We could have offered Hayward as production and a prospect. With Harden, Hayward's role would be somewhat redundant.

I'd do that deal: Hayward + GSW pick for Harden.

 

[Hotdog]

Yes

If we were offered Harden for Kanter and someone said no, this franchise is screwed.

I will never believe the Jazz rejected that deal. And I'm trying hard to believe the Jazz did not try harder to get Harden.

KOC publicly said Pesti asked too much.

Did he? What could "too much" have been? I have a hard time believing we couldn't have trumped Houston's final offer.

More like Hayward + Kanter + GSW

I would have done that too. Just think of a core of Favors and Harden. You would be very competitive every year with a chance to win it all.

 

[orangello]

Harden would be worthless to this team with Jefferson and Foye on it.

The discussion around the NBA would have been that the Jazz got screwed on the deal because Harden is not a #1 option. Corbin runs his offense through Jefferson and that will not change until Jefferson is gone.

 

[HeavenHarris]

if this is true then KOC should be fired bros

1280 questioned him the day of or after, don't remember exactly. Good luck finding it.

You and I discussed this back when the trade went down. Back when there were maybe 5-6 other forum members who thought Harden was legit and willing to give up Favors, Kanter, or Hayward to get him. It's on here somewhere.

 

[turkomania]

i thought OKC wanted Favors AND Kanter...

Went back and found the 1280 audio and KOC does not say he had an offer on the table:

Maybe I'm recalling somewhere else...maybe I passed out one night and dreamt it up.
