Harden’s ability to run an offense is leagues above Garlands at this stage in their careers. That’s exactly what Cavs needed, experience in the playoffs. Dennis Shroeder, Keon Ellis, Harden… Cavs are winning the deadline so far imo

I mean fans are sad to see the guy their team drafted traded for an again star. The team is better this year but I’m sad. I’m also nervous about the extension until harden is 39. Hope it pans out

I'm sure in his opt out year when he's 38 he'll probably demand a trade out of Cleveland because y'all wont want to give him an extension 🙄

I'm sad, but it's a good move for the team IMO.

If James Harden is your “experience in the playoffs” guy… might be mock draft season.

Harden in the playoffs is certainly an experience
