While this is true, it takes 2 to tango. The rockets want star power back. He wants to go to the teams that don't want to trade their stars for him. He's at the mercy of the teams agreeing.

The heat should definitely include Hiro if that's what gets it done. I'm no harden fan, but hiro will never be anywhere close to what harden is. I'd do that in a heartbeat.

But what's the goal? To win regular season games or win championships? Unless he drastically changes his style of play, Harden will never win a ring. If I was Miami, I'd hold off and focus on Giannis.

Valid point. Getting Harden will be a lot easier than getting Giannis. I really don't think Giannis is going to leave Milwaukee. He's a loyal guy.

Yeah this just isn't true. That style of play Harden and Houston played was a CP3 hammy away from a ring.

The goal is to win a ring as easy as possible, nothing more. Just like other ring buyers, todays nba is to latch onto other talent because doing it the hard and honorable way is too hard. We all know, every single one of us, that Harden can't win a ring with actual team building around him. It's failed for years even as Houston has done everything in its power to compliment him. Now he's chasing just like Durant, *****, and many others.

I don't think it's that. It's the way Danny Ainge did IT2 dirty and this season he tried to trade Kemba after signing him last year.
