Lakers VS Slippers Discussion

i actually think harden has shown in la that he can fit in how you need him (as scorer or facilitator). you need to have defenders around him, but otherwise, he can play anywhere, imo. if i'm near contention (particularly in the east) and the cost is low...i'd strongly consider.

again, atlanta came to mind bc they're built with young in mind, but maybe they don't love young that much and would prefer not to be on the hook for his next contract (see: nico with luka). harden lets atlanta contend this year and next and keeps them flexible going forward in a way that committing 50+ per to young will not. atlanta has great...night life...so harden probably doesn't protest too much.

for the clips, they get a (flawed) franchise centerpiece who's fun to watch.

 

I think this makes a lot of sense
