I will take Harden over current Wade. I don't believe Wade can carry a team for an entire season anymore and Harden just did and did it very well. I think prime Wade was better than prime Kobe, for the record.
Different horses for different courses.I think a wade and lin back court would be lethal as both players woulx be playing to their respective strengths.
Harden vs Wade Harden(23) Better 3PT shooter Better FT shooter Better at drawing fouls Turns the ball over more Wade(31) better midrange shooter Better close basket shooter Better on ball defender Better P&R defender Better shot Blocker Better Iso Shooter Too close to call Stealing Rebounding Assisting P&R Handler Right now would take Wade over Harden because of experience and his defensive ability
just to give Harden a little more credit, Harden would be a better fit for the Heats system than Wade
Wade easily. Then Kobe. Then Harden. No shame being third best but Harden's scoring is very one dimensional. Either free throws or threes. No midrange game at all and unless he can't get either a mid range game or post moves you can't call him the best.
He is, but it's not the amazing complement it once was. The position is so down now, withyounger guys who couldplay either guard spot going point guard (Rose, Westbrook) while elite scorers are coming at the three or small ball four instead (Durant, James, Melo) He's arguably the best of the handful of elite players at the position, but it's not saying as much as it once would have.
Now it looks like Harden has emerged as top dog. Not sure how D Wade would play though if he was running a team solo though.
I think Harden is in the top three. He'll probably be the best in the league within a season or two, considering what happened to Bryant and Wade's age.
Wade ran Miami 3 years with nobodys and was over .500 twice(1 Year Wade only played 50 games) and 2 years he had the Black hole(Beasley) playing with him And Harden doesnt play by himself , he does have some talent playing with him
