2134961, They don't need Harden when Thabo is dropping 28 on 16 shots

The deal breaker was that Harden was asking for the max and considering the new CBA a small market team like OKC can't afford to max out 3 players. Basically, Harden is at his best when he has the ball in his hands and with Russy/KD that wasn't happening as much for him to be worth a max. On the other-hand, Ibaka has shown he can play off of KD/Russy and comes in cheaper.......considering Perk is their next best big, you can't turn it down.
