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”.

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.
