2 Changed my vote from 6 (voted last season). Yes, he has improved that much. (leadership, defense, etc)
We are no doubt talking about not just all star players but franchise players. You putting 40yr old Nowitzki and role players Green and Kyle into the mix, makes your logic shitty. Harden is the number one offensive player bow but to win championships you need to have balance. That's the reason why Morey has Ariza/Luc/Tucker on the roster.
Moving goal posts man... You are the one that called them role players and got called out for the stupidity of it. Maybe not Klay, but a team can definitely build around Donkey. He is a playmaking two-way stretch 4, of course there would be a team willing to throw max money at him and build around him.
So Durant is not a franchise player? Or Kawhi? You're argument was weak to begin and your follow up explanation makes it even more moronic.
League best Playmaker, Scorer, Point Producer (by himself and assists) League best +/-, Win Shares Teams Top 5 Defender by now you should know Harden defense ain't holding back the Rockets from being a Top1 defense. harden is as good defensively as the whole team
yeah because he is better this year he can shoot the 3 ball as good as curry, attack the paint 3 X as curry, play make twice as curry, and score 25% more than curry
LOL you got it the other way around. Harden made Capela the player he is not the other way around. How much you think the most Morey gonna pay Capela? You think he's untouchable? If Harden replaced Curry in 2015 or KD in 2017 then GSW are still champs and Houston fighting for 8th spot or worse not even make the playoffs with CUrry in 2015 and KD in 2017
People are not going to even consider Harden over the unanimous top three(Lebron, Curry and KD) until playoff success. Right now he's solidly in that 4th spot.
