To trade the package they did just for Harden to be an extended rental would be dubious asset management.....but, yeah Harden just looks very washed right now. Hasn't taken over 20 shots in a single game in Philly, which is hard to believe considering how much he dominated the ball in his prime years.

Thanks. I'd still walk away. The guy is a serial loafer every off-season. I think he lives the life most would if you made that much money. He doesn't really care anymore and doesn't fall into the power structure of pro sports, much like Kyrie doesn't care either. Some guys made such a crazy amount of money that they don't have to obey expectations anymore. He's getting older and his weight and conditioning will only get worse.
