I'm assuming OKC is still gonna resign Harden. We'll find out soon though. Harden and Ibaka were both entering the last year of their rookie contracts, and Ibaka just got paid. So I'm sure Harden's agent is in contact with OKC's front office right now trying to get an extension. If it turns out that OKC isn't willing to dish out even more money, then I'd love it if the Bulls called them up and offered something for Harden. The problem then becomes, who do we have that they'd want? Would they want Noah if they weren't even willing to pay Harden? I doubt it. They have no use for Deng, Boozer or Rose. They could want Gibson.. but that wouldn't be a good trade for them. Bottom line, the chances of us getting Harden are slim. Unless of course he signed a qualifying offer for 2013-2014 and became an UR free agent in 2014 [the year we should have a lot of cap]... then we could get him. But again, it's slim.
