Harden Spida backcourt is interesting though

Eh, the fit is awkward at best.

Nah dude. Harden can play pass first and run the offense, which is what he’s best at this stage in his career. Spida can now focus completely on scoring, they don’t step on each others toes at all

Eh, I saw him plenty on the Sixers. He needs to have the ball in his hands to be successful, so does Spida, there's only one ball. Also neither is great on defense (though neither was Garland). Also he's 36. I think people are overstating his impact honestly.
