    No way.. Harden for all his flaws can still carry us to the playoffs.

    Yes, I would do it, just so people can stop with the dumb Harden trade proposals.

    But Kyrie can perform more consistently at a high level once there.

    Kyrie Irving is a superstar but he's no MVP caliber player lets make that very clear

    BEARD has to step up his game specially on D if he we wants to attract players to come here in houston. And the guy has attitude

    He did wonders for Lebron in the Finals too. The Cavs don't win game 7 without Kyrie. This is fact

    I dont think people appreciate what Harden does for this team. And really some of the people on this board...actually believe crap like this.

    Kyrie Irving's Cavs result in getting a top NBA draft pick.

    ENTER Lebron James...and they win a title. Go figure. That stark turn around should clearly tell you all you need to know about Lebron's greatness as a player.

    Compare this with James Harden...who in his first year with the Rockets took a team to the playoffs. Kyrie had a great finals...But he had Lebron. In the words of Steve Francis...Kyrie couldnt hold Harden's jockstrap...

    Cavs don't win game 5 without Kyrie either. Averaged 27 PPG in the Finals

    Lol, first off, what statistical evidence do you have to support that claim? Also, not really a fair comparison because Harden isn't playing with the best player in the world.

    Well of course, it's a team game. No one can win without anyone.

    I can't imagine thinking Kyrie is better than Harden. I think Kyrie could still lead a team to a championship but he'd need the type of help Curry has.

    It actually results in them getting TWO first overall picks. They had the worst record in the league in that stretch.

    Let's not forget that Kyrie hasn't been the healthiest player in his career too. He always seem to miss 10 to 20+ games a year.

    Kyrie has already missed 85 games in his career and he's only 23. James Harden has missed 24 games in his career(14 in Houston, 1 as a suspension) and he's 26

    Why would Kyrie be a better fit for Durant than Harden? The only reason Durant would come here is for Harden and then we'd just trade Harden away for Kyrie? C'mon man
