    i vote Rockets improve/GS worse..

    because for every trade, i want the Rockets getting better and our rival (especially our West rival) getting worse..

    Hmm, I do think Rox will be better off.

    As rox can then play Curry, Brewer, Ariza. With Bev and KJ off the bench.

    While Harden at GSW will move Klay Thompson to SF and have Livingston playing point. With Barns and Iggy off the bench.

    Okay i'm wrong, both teams will be worst off.

    You'd simply put Harden in Curry's spot at Golden state, it's not like Golden State doesn't run all sorts of cross matches (hell, Draymond can guard everybody), being more flexible with switching would likely make them even better on d.

    Teams don't have small guys on their team to meet a quota, it's because there's only 2 guys in the nba (3 if you include kobe) over 6'4 even capable of running an offense.

    If you see point guard as the guy who runs our offense, then Harden is our point guard and Beverley is our shooting guard, this is what is meant by your statement though you may not realize it and it doesn't apply.

    If you see point guard as the smallest guy on the court, then Harden is our shooting guard and Beverley is our point guard, this is how basic stat keepers apply it.

    I really hope Harden finds a way to improve his shooting percentage come playoffs. Defence will be at another level on him come playoffs.

    Both would be worse off. GS depends on Curry's pg skills. Rockets depend on Harden's driving and 3 point skills.
