    If we bring a scorer off the bench then what will be Lawson's role exactly?

    This. So much this. Look at his assist to TO ratio. Too much usage, poor efficiency and no energy for defense. Huh could have sworn we heard this last year as well. Enter Lawson to run the offense and Lawson isn't allowed to do so. Until Harden plays off the ball and expends his energy on defense instead of turning it over as much as he assists this team will go nowhere.

    Another scored is not needed, a change in the "system" is needed.

    Scorer on the bench?

    Maybe he's the one traded

    This seems like a dumb idea and move.

    Sure, they could use some more scoring off the bench.

    But they could use a lot of other things first.

    dn't worry. If we bring Lou or Young that will mean that Harden's minutes will either go down or his usage will because they dont' exactly...pass back the ball. :p One way or another Harden handling the ball will go down.

    They shouldn't be. He's gotta do better.

    Harden is shooting a career low 3PT% and FG% while attempting more shots per game. And his defense has regressed, albeit his minutes have increased.

    We'd be in much better shape even with the 2013 Harden.

    His efficiency is skewed by the first 3 games of the season. His numbers have been very good ever since.

    Harden, Dwight, and Swaggy P all on one team? Please let it happen. If we're going to lose at least I'll be entertained.

    The exact opposite of what it was supposed to be, fewer minutes and better defense and production. Instead more minutes and worse defense and production.

    Howard has his own issues (wish he'd realize his limitations and just go along with the pick and roll).

    Harden? Not that we'd have the guts to trade the team cancer for a star who gives a **** about more than his stats and his shoe contract. Lots of kids sitting in the stands wearing the Harden beard, doing that "stirring the pot" motion.

    Which is an overreaction, I'm sure, but I am getting tired of the "care-when-I-want, show-up-when-I-want" attitude.

    I don't know. Tough situation. The stars aren't co-existing very well, and I don't know if the light will come back on for Harden.

    Lets get Chandler back. If he can combine his rookie defense and sophmore offense on a role off the bench he can finally become the franchise player he wants to be.

    Harden will never change his ways. So i guess Dwight will leave us with nothing.
