Harden. Better passer, better playmaker, much better defender, smarter player. Plus he's younger.

No...JR > Harden this year on the defensive side of the ball.

Also, what does Harden being younger than Earl have ANYTHING to do with this topic?

Harden is more consistent and much less likely to shoot your team OUT of a game. Smith is great when he's on, but when he's not, he's a major liability because he'll keep shooting. I'm going with the beard.

There has never been a moment in JR's life where he was remotely close to being as useful as Harden is.
