Not only do they need to keep Perk, but between Serge and Harden, I think they must keep Serge. Serge was exposed trying to defend athletic bigs outside the post, but he is athletic enough to get better. And like the Lakers imporvements, they need both Perk and Serge defensive presence inside. Assuming they will not want to pay too much tax $$$, I think they should move Harden for a cheaper alternative. Someone who I think fits perfect on that team, and next to Westbrook, is Affalo who was dealt to Orlando. Affalo doesnt really fit Orlando’s plan of going young and rebuilding and they will most likely love to get their hands on Harden.
Harden/Aldrich for Affalo/Vucevic, future pick and cash.
Harden is worth more, but any player worth Harden will more than likely be making the type of money that doesnt solve the tax situation OKC is about to find themselves in. When Perk contract is up, theyll have Vucevic who may reach his potential to become a starting center.
