Harden is gonna have to take less money to stay, so will Serge. one has to go, but for now, we get one more year of all 4 together…….I would say, Westbrook and Durant, take less and equalize the payroll somewhat…….I think most of the Miami Heat players did……………and they are getting better…………
or, Trade Perkins and serge, and next years fist round draft pick, for a dominate big man, someone who can actually rotate, and defend, and SCORE………….who?? Chandler, Kevin Love

[...] Darnell Mayberry on Harden making Team USA: “As an aside, some already are claiming that Harden’s selection drives up the price in his upcoming contract negotiations. I don’t buy that. Harden already was a near max, if not max, player. Not much was going to change that. Much like when Harden averaged 12.4 points on 37.5 percent shooting in the Finals, people wanted to claim that his performance was bringing down the amount of dollars he could command. Neither, really, figures to have much of an effect on negotiations. Sam Presti isn’t a fickle GM. He has a plan and he’s going to stick to it, not allow five games or a Team USA selection to alter his course. Furthermore, had Harden not made this Olympic team, there still would have been some franchise out there (we’re looking at you, Phoenix) that stood ready, willing and able to throw max or near-max money at Harden. So let’s take it easy on reading too much into every development.” [...]
