    As players I value more and would have their number retired? Yes I would.

    Don't be silly. Harden put up historic numbers thus far and has a MVP award to boot (could make a serious argument for 2 more). Easy decision to retire his number when the time comes

    Nah, Moses is more of a leader as player and tutor to the Dream.

    I'll pick boards over scoring and passing.

    Yes! And they should do it as soon as we can fill an arena again!

    im gonna be pissed if this franchise/fan base doesn’t show Harden the respect and gratitude he deserves! It sucks the way it ended, but he was ride or die for this city/team for a long time!

    If we don't, we don't deserve another like him. Nobody wears 13 anyway.

    It will eventually be up to Harden tbqh and how spiteful he is. KG's jersey still isn't retired by the Timberwolves because of how much he hated their ownership and doesn't want anything to do with them.

    Whats the criteria for retiring a number? For me it has to be bringing the franchise some kind of glory, some kind of... trophy case hardware... Other banners that your jersey wouldn't be out of place with.

    Its a damn shame he ran up against the sellout Durant and Lebron era. We all knew the legacy of every guy on that 2018 team was doomed the very moment CP3s hamstring snapped. :(

    If Yao got retired, I think Tate might be up there one day.

    So everyone who says you have to had led the team to a title to have your jersey retired is ready to take down Yao, Murphy, and Moses number right?

    Even Clyde didn’t “lead” the team to a title, he was the number 2 so we should take his down as well.

    I think he comes back to make amends. Age 40 season, he averages 17 and 6 on a 10 million dollar deal. He weighs 300 lbs by then, but the running 3 pointer has improved to 25%.
