    A Lillard/Harden back court would be so dirty

    Brilliant! Then we'd be good enough to get swept by Golden State in next year's playoffs!

    I just want to know if there's still anyone around here who would trade Harden for Klay Thompson.

    Most fans can only analyze things by wins and losses. Lillard lost, so this is an easy question for them right now, Klay won, therefore he is better than Harden.

    Lillard's great but Harden literally does everything better except for shooting those 40 foot bombs.
    Handles: Harden
    Penetration: Harden
    PNR: Harden
    Iso: Harden
    Playmaking: Harden
    Defense: Harden
    Rebounding: Harden
    Shooting Efficiency: Harden

    Depends on who else you can get. Harden does the most with the least, he carries the largest burden. Out of all the top guys, he's the only one without a clear offensive weakness.

    KD/Kawhi/AD - Poor playmaking ability
    Steph - Size/Durability
    Giannis - Can't shoot
    Lebron - Age

    That is kind of the issue . . . .. seems like we need two players to overcome what Harden does
    There are few ONE TO ONE deals that are winners

    Kanter was not healthy,
    With nurkic, they can finish GS in 6.

    Then deal capela for Beverley and ja green, salary should match.

    Yep. Harden is a special player because he's elite at both scoring and playmaking, he's basically a mini bron with less physicality but a better shot.

    I find fans generally underestimate how important playmaking is when they talk about players. Harden (and Steph) puts so much pressure on a defense because not only can they stretch the floor to 35+ ft with their own shooting, but they will also make you pay for overloading on them with timely and accurate passes. There's also far fewer elite playmakers in the league than there are capable defenders.
