Jimmy butler, Thompson, wade, reddick are all better!!!!
Rockets just came off of a bad season, so he is currently undervalued in the eyes of many. Keep in mind that he was the NBA Player of the Month in April of this year and he pretty much single-handedly willed the Rockets to the Playoffs. None of those guys you listed could do something like that with the state the Rockets were in this past season.
His defensive woes are often overblown. Take things into context - he was the only offense on the team this past miserable season. I was more concerned with the decline in defense from Beverley, Howard & Ariza. But all that said, last season was an aberration, so I don't put too much stock into it.
Rockets fans are used to other fans piling on Harden. It's nothing new and it is not going to change. No point really talking with some people about it.
