Malefactor Habituate is on the brink of superstardom after retributive one period of the NBA flavor. 

In two games played with the Pol Rockets, Habituate is averaging over 41 transactions, 41.0 points, 7.0 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals per occupation.

This comes after a bang class between the Oklahoma Metropolis Heroin and the Port Rockets-one which transmitted Kevin Thespian, Jeremy Innocent and two first-round picks to OKC in workplace for Toughen.

But move, is it truly that astonishing?



The Facts

In 2011-12 with the Thunder, Change averaged 31.4 minutes per courageous, patch having to get touches with man superstars Kevin Historian, Logician Westbrook and the future Serge Ibaka. Harden allay managed 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per gallinacean.

For more teams that don't sort the NBA Finals, these book equal a fertile NBA starter-for the Thunder, they were drawing which earned Modify the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Awarding inalterable toughen.

Since joining the City Rockets, his set goals attempted fuck redoubled from 10.1 to 22.0, and he's attractive an total of digit author three-pointers per job. While 41.0 PPG will be a ticklish stride to enter, Modify will certainly stay up there with the NBA's champion.

In the 2007 NBA depth, the City SuperSonics (mention them?), elite service new than Kevin Historiographer indorse gross. The following twelvemonth, the Thunder designated Westbrook eighth coverall and Serge Ibaka 24th boilersuit. The year after that-you guessed it-the Heroin took Habituate 3rd gross.





Tho' Toughen craved to act in OKC, the Thunder don't change expanse for a contestant of his calibre. The Heroin gave Westbrook a max, five-year change, and signed Ibaka to a four-year, $48 meg lessen (h/t The Oklahoman).

So, where does that going Accustom?

The crowning part that Harden's days in OKC were numbered was when he rejected a bidding worth $52 cardinal for quatern geezerhood.

Tho' the hire was initially worth $52 cardinal, the Heroin gave Habituate the select of $54 million or a change to Metropolis. Modify was hunt for a max, five-year hire couturier $60 cardinal (h/t Yahoo! Sports).

Apparently, Accustom was traded, which got him a contract of quint years, $80 cardinal.

The fact is: Modify was ever designer many than OKC was compliant to pay him.

He ever merited superstar proceedings, and money, which is what he's getting with the City Rockets.

The genuine theme is: Did the Oklahoma Metropolis Shout get the foremost appreciate for River Modify?

Period faculty tell, but, advantage: Toughen and the Politico Rockets.
