    Well, yeah... That's pretty clearly going to be the case, assuming Harden isn't traded.

    If cp3 and russ played off ball majority of the time they were on the floor with JH, then I’m sure wall will also. Harden plays whatever position he wants to play. A rookie head coach ain’t gonna change that

    Basketball is pretty much positionless, so of course Harden and Wall will start together.

    Might as well since the franchise is still probably paying him.

    Really isn't a such thing as PG in the traditional sense if you're running Wall and Harden. They both are going to take turns handling the ball and running plays and bringing the ball up the court.

    One new wrinkle that we have that we've never had before with Harden is that we can run plays off a post guy because Cousins can read and pass the ball much like Jokic. Maybe not as good as Jokic but no one is going to complain about Cousins making decisions with the ball in his hand.

    What does this look like?
    Harden kind of sitting and waiting on the ball?
    Harden running figure 8s around the court?

    James will have balled 95% of the time.

    Harden will always be the defacto PG of the Rockets as long as he's here. Even Pre MDA days, he was running the offense. That's really why I want to see Harden once with an elite player that isnt a PG. Like a KD or a AD or a Kawhi. Linking him up with other PGs is nice since you have an elite PG on the floor at all times, but it doesn't maximize our team when Harden is on the floor and especially during clutch time.

    This tandem gonna be awesome, as long as the beard starts to change his mind n stay focused.
    One is a leader who controls the rhythm, the other a prolific scorer.
