So you would rather Perkins than Harden? I would take Harden everyday of the week, and then go out and get a role playing cheap FA big man who can rebound and defend, as that is about all Perkins does.
I think Houston has improved far more than OKC has, though if Martin can stay healthy, then OKC still has scoring punch off the bench, but Harden created for team more than Martin does. Harden a creator and finisher, Martin a finisher only.
Having said that, OKC have avoided any sort of internal team turmoil by trading Harden before season has started, and has also avoided risk of not getting anything in return next offseason, so maybe I would have to say that this is the best type of trade... which is a great trade for both teams.

Well you mean, rather Perkins and Martin for Harden? Definitely! Perkins was perhaps, and probably still is, the only big man who can stop both Howard and Bynum!

OKC have robbed the shit outta HOU in this deal, or maybe it's HOU's fault, lol, either way, the Thunder definitely are clear winners IMO.
Harden was asking for big bucks, but the dude's worth it. 6th-Men players who can really impact a game, and possible change the results are hard to come by.
OKC now just need to fill that void off the bench, if Lamb can provide, they'll definitely be competing again and again. K-Mart's legs are an eyebrow raiser, didnt he miss a stack of games last season from injury(s)?
The Draft Picks may also be a deal-winner too. 2x first rounders, and a 2nd. Cole Aldridge, Daequan Cook & Lazar Hayward are definitely NOT players worth keeping, so by "dumping" these guys to HOU, OKC have jumped well ahead in this deal.

Probably, but then you have an even bigger supporter base in Houston to pick up the slack.
