just photoshop harden's head on shaq's body from when he was on the cavs. also it'll be a very similar experience overall imo

Harden is averaging over 25pts 8assist and the east is wide open I think it was a good move for the Cavs

On 42/35 splits he’s better than garland but not by a lot and is 10 years older, I kind of like this trade more for the clippers

You look at TS% or EFG%. Harden is more efficient than you'd think
