    I wouldn't trade James Harden for 4 CJ McCollums. Hope James changes his mind because regardless of other factors,he is something else on the basketball floor. PJ now? Could part with him in a heart beat...now he p!ays like he doesn't want to be there.

    CJ McCollum + ability to defend = Eric Gordon

    Dude look at CJ's regular season numbers the last 4 seasons. Then look at his playoffs the last 4 seasons. He ups it from 21-22 ppg to 23-25 ppg. As the lead ball handler for the Rockets, CJ would average at LEAST 28ppg. Career numbers are stupid to compare since he was bench player his first two seasons. CJ's a much better postseason player than Harden and he has shown it in big games. He personally won Game 7 on the road in the toughest city to play in and on both sides of the floor. Harden has never handled the pressure like that before. Ever. You would love CJ. Trust me.

    Not really. He hit a career number of 3s because he's decided to shoot more threes this season. But he scored 50 points in 29 minutes a couple seasons ago. THAT was the game of his life. Look up CJ's numbers when Dame sits out. He's a superstar waiting to break out. Houston would love him. Trust me.

    You're not getting Ben Simmons. You're not getting Kyrie or Tatum. You're getting Lavert or CJ. Take your pick. Also Collins and Trent would be included and they are VERY promising young players. Simons and Little are interesting too.

    Defensively for Harden yes. He does give up career highs quite often to his opposite number

    Nope, CJ is a good scorer/shooter but at best he's your third best player, again, at best, and he's not worth a max imo, he's also not young anymore so i have no interest in a package where he's the main piece.

    We’re not getting Lavert or CJ either because no competent GM would trade James Harden for a package centered around them

    7/21 and 3/10 from the 3pt line today. Back to normal for CJ.

    You still wouldn't mind trading Harden for CJ?

    He torched us the other night, but he’s also an often injured 1-dimensional player with chronic back problems making near max money. No thanks.
