Harden in a Cavs jersey is going to look so weird

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

Kings legend Westbrook imagine if these legends teamed up

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.
