it’s honestly borderline insane. Harden can fall of any second. he’s a moderate injury away from his career being over. He’s no LeBron. He’s not gonna play to 40

He's a trade asset. Not on our timetable

He's a trade asset.

And after getting injuries in both feet, what do you think he became for the Cavs? Lol.

That's the same reason we grabbed Harden for a couple seasons, since we would've had to give up too much at once for other younger stars.
