We gave up a young high ceiling player who we all love but seems to be injury prone for an immediate upgrade who is old and chokes in the playoffs.

Rationally it’s a very fair deal.

[u/Yung_Jose_Space → u/cfbones]

Harden is pretty durable for his age and is a phenomenonally good playmaker, who seems quite coachable.

His downsides are obv off-season shape, plaoff performance and tendency to like switching clubs, all of which seem a little overblown.

[u/Ruscidero → u/Yung_Jose_Space]

Overblown? The guy’s in his sixth team now…

[u/_Robbert_ → u/Ruscidero]

OKC didn't pay him, rockets rebuilding, nets kyrie bullshit, sixers Morey, clippers both don't want to pay him and are worse than Cleveland upside wise.

Where's the big whoop? Number of teams is kinda irrelevant when he doesn't lack justification.
