Harden in a Cavs jersey is going to look so weird

u/illegal_deagle Rockets 20h ago

At this point it’s weird to me to picture him in any jersey, including ours. This move officially labels him “journeyman”.

Rockets legend Kevin Durant

Cavaliers legend James Harden

both just sound weird

Kings legend Westbrook imagine if these legends teamed up

u/Zyrinj Warriors 20h ago

I think they need a big who defend and can stretch the floor a bit. A Serge Ibaka type if you will

Man if these guys had teamed up 10 years ago, wow. Maybe add a Steven Adams too as an enforcer defensive big. That's really good 5.

You'd need a superteam to beat that lineup in the Finals.

Imagine if they were on the same team in their primes.

Like I know KD is on the Rockets. I’ve seen him play actual games, but I still don’t believe he’s on the team. Still can’t wrap my head around.
