He's about 2 years behind Westbrook but otherwise on the same track. And teams kept trading for Westbrook and regretting it.
Like Westbrook, the only way for a Harden acquisition to be successful is for Harden to fundamentally alter how he plays and accept a more limited role. Westbrook wouldn't do it until he was essentially buried on the bench. Now he's...viable. I wouldn't say he's much of an asset, but he's no longer the liability for the Clippers he was for the Lakers.
Can/will Harden do the same? I doubt it. Not based on his behavior the last couple of years. But we'll see.
