    If all the Giannis stuff fails to materialize and Kd becomes the target for FVV's contract and pick, Harden would be incredible as a full MLE signing or even a sign and trade at around Brooks' or even Brooks + Jock's contracts. That scenario would land us 2 2025 Allstars while pretty much retaining all of the young players.

    I wish Harden was on Warriors so we don’t have to try too hard. He even offset healthy Kawahi and that a big feat

    I would rather have Kyrie if healthy. Harden is a great regular season guy, but we don’t need that. We need a playoff performer.

    Imagine if harden was on this team right now. The defensive rotations and scrambling would be so good, the warriors would only be able to score 200 points a game....

    There's no way I'd even consider Harden coming back given how he left. You don't let a player do everything in their power to destroy your franchise and then take them back after you finally fix the damage he did.

    Would he be good in a Ginobili off the bench role? Sure, but he doesn't deserve it.

    LOL wtf? If it wasn't for him asking out we would be absolute trash right now. He saved the franchise from our dumbass owner.

    Best team? The team was GARBAGE after the cp3 trade, would never have had any chance to get out of the 1st round. I personally was hoping he would be traded after the 2019 season (i'd have been ok if he got traded after 2018 but that wasn't realistic)

    Harden is in that stubborn I'm still a superstar phase. He needs to bounce from a few teams in order feel good about coming off the bench. Harden likes being the system, anything else he would sabotage.

    He ran off Howard, then CP3, then just up and left when we couldn't do crap with just him being in the limelight. Yeah, screw bringing him back. He chases championships, but wants to be the main star.
