Trading either Harden or Dwight is a suicide mission, it's delusional to push for on the board

what the OP failed to mention... what about trading a star for another star? He's assuming we trade one of 'star' players for picks and spare parts... I'm thinking Griffin may be ready for a change of venue...

 

Has harden turned into melo?

IMHO, Harden and Melo are very similar players. They're great offensive players, not so much on the defensive end. They're both ball-stoppers. They're known to be the "best scorer on the team" but not much else. They don't set an example of how to play hard. They don't inspire their teammates on/off the court. They both lack in leadership and seem to be content with just scoring points.


These are some of the things that I think make them similar.

 

Trade Howard for a PF...Milsap!

 

If our front office doesn't turn this team around, Harden's career will be like Melo's.

 

Harden could probably use a center who could shoot or hit free throws or not be constantly injured or not be constantly ejected....

 

and Dwight could probably use a primary ballhandler who's not a ball stopper and turnover machine...
