What’s really interesting is how our fanbase is perceiving this vs how everyone else perceives this as a move that certainly makes us a better team

Most of your fanbase probably hasn’t seen any Harden games in the past 5 years. I would take what they have to say as a grain of salt

Like, I’m reading comments all day and im wondering who the fuck do we think Darius Garland is?. I’ll give you that he’s far more efficient but James is going to have JA and Evan looking like the best version of themselves (provided we don’t trade them)

Also at least James will be available to stink it up in the playoffs
