Paul George and it's not even remotely close. PG is a great defender and can score 30. Harden isn't in George's class.
If the rumor about Paul George banging Roy Hibbert's lady (fiance? wife?) is true, I wonder if Indy would be open to a George for Harden deal. Indy needs more efficient offense. Houston needs better defense. Hibbert is allegedly mad at George and dogging it because of the lady issues. Harden only bangs urban models and exotic dancers and would have no interest in Hibbert's lady. If George goes after one of Dwight Howard's ladies, Dwight probably wouldn't get as angry because he has so many of them. The trade looks perfect on paper.
With how bad of a defensive team we are, I was thinking of the very thing the other day. Chances are that they would unload hibbert first though, whose 0 points 0 rebound games can't just be explained by a rift.
Not sure if pacers want harden after his lack of D in the playoffs, pouting for not being involved in offence play, n refs not buying his flop to get FTs.
Harden is a better overall player than George defensive problems and all but if the Rockets somehow manage to get Melo or Love George would be a better fit on this team.
George would really only be a better fit if the players in question were elite at playmaking, CP3, Lebron, that sort of thing. Harden and George are kind of different in what they need around them, Harden is an elite scorer/playmaker, you tend to find players to go around him and fill the gaps, whereas George is the ultimate gap filler, the greatest glue guy in the league but at best a 3rd option on offense. In a sort of weird twist, both teams have the el cheapo version at the opposing spots, Chandler is offensively about where George is (take away the hot/cold start and they basically pumped out the same stats), but vastly worse at defense whereas Stephenson is just as crappy as James at defense, and worse at offense, but like Harden tends to be their perimeter initiator (does it shock you that he led their team in assists?).
Harden can be dominant, I would not trade him. But I have noticed that white women who marry black guys often don't stick to one. it is a fetish and they claim not to be able to tell the diff
Harden put his hand on his hip then scratched his head. You'd think Harden rehearsed that was trying to lose this series.
This just doesn't make sense to me. Why doesn't Hibbert just beat the crap out of PG? Why embarrass himself in front of everybody with sh#tty play?
George giving max effort but taking a bad angle is not at all comparable to Harden taking the play off and getting backdoored. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4p3xWG3mkXE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
