If it's that easy to acquire young stars then why don't the Raptors have any?

Calderon

Gay is a year younger, more of a pure SF and is under contract for 2 more years than Smith. Plus, from what I've seen and heard about both players, I just prefer Gay as well.

Most observers thought the Hawks and Grizzlies were crazy to throw max money to Joe Johnson and Rudy Gay, two players who are substantially better than than James Harden. With a new more punitive CBA in place, I cannot imagine a GM stupid enough to offer James Harden anywhere close to max money.

all things being equal (by 'all things' i mean $$), is there a GM who would choose either JJ or gay over harden, if they had the choice of all 3? if there was a single player that would actually be deserving of a max (or near max) deal this summer, it's harden.TRUE LOVE - Sometimes you know it the instant you see it across the bar.

could harden be...a PG? he tends to play a playmaker role now anyway, and that's obviously different than being an everyday starting PG. still, he's got an intriguing skillset. i wonder if there is some trepidation amongst the republic re. harden because he plays a position that isn't considered to be one of 'need' for the raptors (SG)?TRUE LOVE - Sometimes you know it the instant you see it across the bar.

In any case, I see absolutely no scenario where the Thunder don't keep Harden, so this is moot. As for Harden himself, why the hell would Harden leave a team that looks like it will be a contender for the foreseeable future to come to an organization with its head firmly buried up its ass that will be in tough to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference for the foreseeable future? For a few million more that will have absolutely zero impact on your lifestyle? Improbable.
