Yes, I would. I love Ja, but Harden is one of the most impactful offensive players in the history of the game. But, if I were a rebuilding team, the choice would be equally as obvious, I just think that, in general, most teams don't view themselves as rebuilding and would prefer the transcendent player.

And you likely suspect that Ja will be highly impactful player for 12-15 years ahead, while Harden for only 2, and this fact somehow doesn’t count in terms of market value Ok. Thanks.

Vote Kawhi
Nominate LaMelo

[Buzzard]

Vote Trae. The most offensively explosive young point guard in the league left on this board and tailor made for today's game.
Nominate George. The very definition of a 3D player over the past 5 - 10 years. Enough said!

Do I detect some thin skin about Harden having more votes than Ja? Instead of asking others to elaborate more on their opinion of Harden, Try elaborating us on yours with something better than:

V Ja

My opinion: Ja is a nice little player but he has a long ways to go before he starts sniffing the top 10 in this poll.

You are a better poster than this. I stated my reasons, you don't have to agree with them. I do think a team with Harden as their best player has a better chance of winning a championship in the next 3 season than a team with Ja as their best player has winning a championship in their next 10. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am, players of Harden's impact are very rare, and I don't think Ja is one of them (of all the sub 22 year old players, I think only Luka is).

Harden

Nominate: Sabonis the "Lithuanian Nightmare!" Case for Sabonis 24 years old signed to a team friendly contract 4 years $18 million a year and a beast who is getting better every game.
