In the case of James Harden and the Oklahoma City Thunder, it was more like an annulment.
October 28th, 2012 isn’t a date that necessarily rolls off the tongue, but it’s one that NBA players and fans alike won’t forget for a while. Woj dropped a real bomb that day.
It was a move that shocked NBA franchises and shook the landscape of the league simultaneously. The Thunder, after failing to agree on an extension with James Harden, decided to ship him to the Houston Rockets in exchange for guards Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb, along with two first round picks and a second round pick.
