Two things here. First, this isn’t a video game. Tanking and rebuilding quickly can only be done in a night on nba2k, not in real life. Second, you’re definitely not a genius with this idea.
Just to humor OP, If you’re going to trade Harden it better be a massive haul. Like “omg I can’t believe my team just gutted the roster for Harden” haul. - the #9 pick, Bradley Beal, Troy Brown Jr and two future unprotected 1sts - the #6 pick, Devin Booker, TJ Warren and Mikal Bridges - the #7 pick, Lauri Markannen and *drumroll* Otto Porter - DeMar Derozan, Dejounte Murray and Derrick White and a future unprotected 1st -#8 #10, John Collins, Kevin Huerter and Bazemore’s expiring -Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, Michael Porter JR and an unprotected 1st
Not that bad of an idea. Last time I checked Harden, CP3, MDA, and Moron still haven't figured out how to beat the Warriors. But since KD and Klay are hurt we might get lucky next year.
