According to BRef, top 10 career comps include Kenny Smith and (non-Rocket) Eddie Johnson... A net negative on defense career-wise.
If the Rockets can somehow land Wesley Matthews and trade picks for Mirotic, I would feel a lot better about this season.
He used to give Harden a tough time when he was playing with Howard in the playoffs. Then, he got injured in Portland and has recovered impressively in Dallas, but he is not as good as before getting hurt. He is older now too.
Sixers are also interested so it's a long shot the Rockets would be able to acquire him. Unless the Knicks would be willing to trade him for picks, which I have no idea if that is even possible.

Though the Warriors would have interest in both, the need for Matthews is greater than the need for Jordan. Should Matthews, 32, become available in the coming weeks – by March 1 to be available for the postseason – there would be mutual interest.
do you mean defensively? bc he's doing what he's normally been on the offensive end pretty much most of his career
Wes Matt is a .38 career 3-point shooter and a decent defender, it will be awesome if we sign him on a buyout and then trade Gordon for Green.
Well, they knew: go after Harden early, when his offense sputters, he gets frustrated. He's improved a lot in the years since.
