Harden's stock is deteriorating by the day with all the drama and negative stories out there, but the incentive to get him hasn't changed. He's still an elite player/superstar who would make us heavy favorites to win it all. With our defense looking better than expected though, I'm content for now, and the steep cost that it'll take to get Harden, it definitely gives reluctance to make that move.
He's a great player, but right now we have a cohesive group that is on the same page and dedicated to working hard. Harden came into camp overweight and he is putting hanging out with his rapper buddies in strip clubs over his career and the health and safety of everyone around him.
No thanks. If we can't win with two elite players and elite depth, so be it.
