Bro Okc should’ve just gave harden the money 💰 easy ring

[@FeelnLikeIDoEveryDay]

Sam Presti deserves credit for being a great GM. Curry's 44mil 4yr deal created the Warriors dynasty. Scottie getting lowballed created the Bulls dynasty. Harden got his bread, but no rings. Even KD took less than the max with GSW. DWade took the lesser out of the Heatles as well. I personally have always believed that Manu Ginobli was one of the best players to never win MVP. He has rings though. Plenty of cash I'd imagine to. Harden could have been him to Russ and KD's Tim and Tony routine but he wanted mucho dinero to spend at strip clubs and on Rappers birthday gifts so here we are 😆
