Harden has been fantastic for Houston. I hope he keeps it up and the bench and other starters other than Lin helps out more.
This was a perfect storm of a player available because of a money crunch, us having the assets to entice the other GM and the player being young enough and good enough to build around. A very rare occurrence. I know I rag on the FO sometimes (mainly Les but some of the picking up old players at a time when it made little sense wouldn't be moves i would have made ...still think Les was behind those moves too) but this was pure luck meets pure genus. Well done. Name 5 players you would rather have? I don't think I can name 3.
