Baby can come off the bench, the real gain is Vucevic and losing Harden for Afflalo, someone who won't hog the ball and move it more

Isn't that fat ass still injured? thought players needed to be medically cleared before trades?

Fair enough, I just think that Houston have so many holes that could be plugged with a trade like that, Harden can be a ball stopper sometimes

Kobes been the biggest ball stopper in the league, but he was surrounded by enormous talent. Harden will probably do the same.

There was a period where he had shitty teammates too though, Harden has great ones right now, he needs to make the most of it

Ball-DOMINANT not dominate. A player who dominates is dominant, they are two different words.

Good college starter
Re: Harden should come off the bench
At least Kobe played D in his prime. Even a Kobe on a repaired Achilles plays better D than Harden.
Doesn't matter if Harden gets 30 a game if his opponent gets a career high night in and night out against him.
So much of Harden's negative impact is felt outside of a stat sheet. Players like him demoralize a team. No one wants a ball hogging, no D playing teammate. I know I didn't when I was playing. Good D and ball movement is CONTAGIOUS.

Re: Harden should come off the bench
Until Harden learns to play more than one end of the floor he should be a 6th man.
I don't think people truly understood why OKC traded Harden. San Antonio would have done the same thing. If you don't play defense, you won't make it long playing for them either. Especially if you are demanding a max contract.
Rockets would have been much better off keeping Lamb, trading Martin for picks, drafting Adams or Giannis, and then having the Mavericks pick plus a high draft slot in this years draft. Plus more cap space.
They screwed up. They tried to build a team around OKC's one dimensional sixth man. They are headed towards mediocrity out here in the West.

We need to figure out how to get OKC Harden back. He was a more willing passer and he played defense.

It's because the rockets kissed his ass and crowned him the Franchise player.
Rockets with Dwight and Harden as the 2 leaders? Let's be real, they aren't goin' anywhere. Rockets need a floor general

Give us a coach that will bench a player and I bet Harden turns back into a floor general
