The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Houston Rockets on this Easter Sunday at the moment, and of course whenever these two takes take the court against one another, the infamous James Harden trade from over two years ago comes up. Some people just cannot let it go, like ESPN’s Bill Simmons, for example.
He’s been known in the past to just bring it up out of the blue, and on Sunday he was at it again, exploding everyone’s timelines with his thoughts on the deal that we’ve heard a million times (this might be literal) by now.
OKC newspaper piece about the Harden trade leaves out the key point - they didn't have to trade him when they did. http://t.co/yrdgViPR9s

OKC could have made a 2013 title run and stayed under tax, then dealt with Harden's restricted free agency that summer. That's just a fact.

Harden wanted 60m for extension, OKC wouldn't go higher than 54m. They loved Houston's offer + severely underrated Harden's impact. Fact.

The key point - you make one more title run for 2013, then you figure it out. Every OKC competitor celebrated when they dealt Harden. Fact.

See? Now tell us that you have not heard any of those points before at some point since the 2012 deal. You can’t, can you?
Yes, we’re all pretty much tired of hearing about it at this point, and apparently so is Kevin Durant. Now the cool part about Durant being fed up, though, is the fact that he can fire back at Simmons and make some waves.
Like he did on Sunday…
@BillSimmons just let it go!

It really is just as simple as that. He just needs to let it goooooooooo.
Of course, this is also pretty much obligatory…
