I think Danny Knew he already had Rondo Ray and rookie Avery, so he saw more use for Green, especially with Pierce and KG getting nicked up.

It was right after that trade deadline that Harden began playing like the Harden we recognize today. Might have had to forfeit the Melo pick.

Um, how exactly would Danny know he had Bradley?  Wasn't even drafted yet.

Harden was already seen as the better player at that point, considering his known upside.  OKC was also frustrated with Green.

OKC was never going to trade Harden for Perk, except in passing thought.

All the reports I heard back then were that Ainge preferred Harden, but getting Green was the best he could get.
