Quite the opposite. He is absolutely a piece to build around, as has been proven by the past 3 decades of champions. Comparing him to Boozer is lazy dude.

Rudy Gay would be a better one to go with. Wing player coming off rookie deal, throw the max and cap your team out. The difference is that Harden is worlds better than Gay.

It is undeniably harder to find a top shelf 2 guard like Harden, than a quality, average sized PF like Ibaka. He is a talented shot blocker, but Harden is DYNAMIC. He literally carries the Thunder for stretches (Game 2 anyone?), and can do so many things for a team.


This argument to me is boiling down to you guys underrating James Harden. He was the 6th man of the year, despite playing tons of his minutes with the 2nd unit (Daquan Cook! Nazr Mohammad!). I'm not gonna play the "you don't watch games" card, but if you guys can't see how good this guy is....

I dunno man. He is legit as fuck.
