    Nothing much. He is who he is at this point. A perennial player in this league. Anyone expecting some massive change in harden's game is sadly mistaken, especially just because some rookie coach comes in with Harden at 31 years old.

    I hope for all 3...I hope for more midrange especially in clutch time

    I hope for more off-ball movement from the role players as well

    I also hope for an actual big so Harden can at least get back to doing more PnR...his lob and floater game became non-existent after Capela left...that used to be at least 10 easy points for the team every game

    Hope he shoots more threes. Nothing but threes.

    Look at how Doncic played. I don't think that much will change.

    Although, Harden seems to always come up with something new each year.

    Moves more, off ball too?

    Every year same speculation though.

    Less minutes is all I expect and tbh an increase in efficiency.

    Less volume stats but more efficiency on less attempts and minutes.

    His game is his game, quit trying to change his brilliance because it doesn't match your opinion of basketball. Just accept him already.

    It's hard to say without knowing what our personnel will necessarily be, but surely a top priority for the coaching staff is making adjustments to beat double teams. Whether it's other players bringing the ball up, more movement, Harden bringing the ball up quicker, whatever works. If we don't see changes in this regard, the new staff will simply be a failure.

    I don't think much will change with Harden. Harden is going to Harden. I think the other players are going to benefit more. Silas wont try to run a Harden offense with Westbrook. MDa tried to make CP3 and Westbrook into 0 calorie Hardens. It almost worked with CP3, but it never played to their strengths.

    I really feel like Silas is going to turn Westbrook, EG, Danuel and Ben into monsters.

    WESTBROOK GOING TO TURN INTO WETBROOK!!!

    This, also cause Silas isn't going to challenge James, you can bet on that.

    People who think Harden stopped using his mid range and became more stationary as a player because of Morey are...well, less say, naive.
