Biggest Weakness: Can They Keep James Harden Happy?
I know it sounds pretty stupid, right? We are talking about a guy that should have won the NBA MVP last season. But, here is what’s going to happen next year: his game will change – a lot.
Harden throughout his career has always had the ball in his hands, even when playing with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant with the Thunder.
He is a great one-on-one player, but now he has a point guard for the first time in Houston. Ty Lawson is a penetrator, so is Harden. Someone’s game is going to suffer and if I’m the Rockets, it has to be Harden’s.
If not, then why bring over Lawson in the first place?
