You would be a horrible GM. Harden would be a Free Agent after the season and OKC wouldn't have been able to trade him. They would have gotten nothing in return had they waited.

Instead they get a good player, a promising rookie, draft picks, and still have money left over.

OKC made an offer to him, he refused, OKC did what they had to.
