Also harden was not yet an all star and was looking for max money, whereas demar is a proven all star on a pretty cheap deal.
EDIT: The deals I propose definitely seem Raptors-favouring...but that's the point...
Orlando: Oladipo...Could be rookie of the year in arguably the worst rookie-class ever. He's not particularly good at anything. He looks a bit undersized out there for SG, and underskilled for PG. I like him, but I can't help but see 6th man type player when I watch him play, or inefficient starting SG. Which is what some people used to say about DeMar. Could be right this time, could be wrong again...the 2 picks is assuming that they'd both be late lottery picks. It's entirely possible and not at all unlikely that all 3 of those assets fail to become as good a player as DeMar is now. For a higher pick (like their own pick this year), I said in the second scenario they could fit with Afflalo and Harkless (veteran at his peak, and limited youngster).
Milwaukee: Delfino is 31 right now and just had major foot surgery. He'll be lucky to stay healthy and play at a similar level as he used to. Pachulia and Ilyasova are good role players...But if Ilyasova can't recapture his old form, he's paid quite a bit, and Pachulia is fully replaceable, and is also probably overpaid. Basically you're getting their pick first and foremost, a role player, and a guy you probably right off and anything he gives you is a bonus.
Atlanta: It was Horford and a pick OR prospect, not and, for DeMar and a 2nd rounder and/or Hansbrough (for example). I said in my own post I don't see why Atlanta would do it, but that if an offer like this came around, I'd struggle to contain myself.
As has been pointed out many a time, the idea is to get a "godfather" deal. Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to trade.
