    Didn't even know he had any value. If so why didn't we get him. The rockets should have gotten every asset the nets had.

    He was averaging 20 points and 6 assists before he went down. He is a very good combo guard. Plus you get his bird rights in any trade. He has value especially for the Raptors who will probably trade lowry. Need a replacement for him or even if they keep him you can play them together

    He is considered a very good two way player.He is almost as good as Harris from the three point line and a way better defender

    That would be an absolutely ridiculous get for them then. Spencer is a really good player too not surprised he is wanted.

    He is a 50 percent field goal 43 percent from the three point line 19 points a game two way player. Park him on one corner from the three point line and Harris on the other. Then have Jeff Green and Harden on the floor. That’s three guys that will destroy teams if the double Harden, Durant or Kyrie

    Being a guard he seems like he would be really good Kyrie insurance too for when his period shows up and he needs time off again. Harden-Powell-Harris-Green-DJ-Nic-Bruce- Blake-TJ-Shamet-TLC is still enough to get you the 2nd seed at least in the East.

    Yes especially when Kyrie decides to take his sabbatical little random holidays like he just did!

    Harden casually strolls into Portland with no KD or Kyrie and beats the Blazers....

    if KD and Kyrie aren’t wiring half of every paycheck to Harden’s bank account for carrying them this season...

    He is doing it again. Carrying another franchise by himself. It’s crazy to think he has had no preseason or a training camp with his new teammates and has dealt with multiple injuries .. it’s incredible

    At this point, Harden deserves to be carried by KD and Kyrie in the playoffs. It's wild how much teams and coaches take for granted what he does. Not only is he damn near guaranteed to play (and play heavy minutes), even through injuries, but you're still confident with Harden you can beat any team, any night, no matter who he is surrounded with.

    The Nets would legit be a 6th seed without Harden holding everything together.

    6th seed is generous. No KD for this extended amount of time. They were 7-6 when they traded for Harden. Wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that they’d be sub .500 and on the outside looking in.

    Nets fans are like: I bet Harden rests tomorrow.

    Rockets fans: LOL, yea about that.
