This season is year 3 of his 5 year contract. He will be an unrestricted free agent in 2 years during the summer of 2018. I think time is running out and I could see him wanting to leave for the Lakers or Clippers by then.

Can we trade him for Jimmy Butler, who won't be a UFA until 2020 and is a local product.

I don't think Butler is less distracting or less a "problem" if you see harden as one. Since he became a star he's been clashing with guys like Rose and Noah and I'm pretty sure he's trying to get Hoiberg fired. Not to mention he can't stay healthy for 70 games in a season ever

At least he knows how to play defense. Harden got McHale fired.

If only he knew how to shoot threes or be the facilitator for an offense regularly. And there's no leaks or rumors to suggest harden did, just speculation because of his bad play but that was more due to him being out of shape

LeBron has been making pointed comments about Blatt since he came to Cleveland. Harden has NEVER had a negative comment about McHale. LeBron famously scratched Blatt's plays that he would draw up (like in the playoffs against Chicago) and when did Harden do that?
