I still love James Harden, and it makes me sad to see some of the hate he gets even on this forum after giving us the prime of his career, balling his @ss off for nearly a decade, desperately carrying this team on his back. I kinda had some hope we might go after him this summer to reunite him with Durant, and I think that coulda been pretty epic. ... But with all that said, I'm not tryna trade Reed for Harden at this stage of his career. Especially with a FRP. GTFO.
The price for Harden is the same price we paid for Durant - our least favorite member of our young core, a starting caliber veteran, a lottery pick, and a bunch of 2nd round picks. That looks like this: To HOU: Harden, Beal's contract for matching To LAC: Eason, DFS, Fred's contract for matching, any 1st round pick they want, and a couple of 2nds PG: Harden / Shepherd / Holiday SG: Thompson / Okogie SF: Durant / Tate PF: Smith / Green C: Sengun / Adams / Capela That is a huge team and easily the best offense in the league.
