After many years of leaving it all on the floor attempting to take down the Golden State Warriors as a member of the Houston Rockets, James Harden finds himself still in pursuit of his first ever NBA championship, but instead, has once again become a name in trade rumors.

While no longer a member of the Rockets, Harden has somehow found himself facing similar concerns now as he did during his time in Houston. Kevin Durant is currently sidelined and Kyrie Irving is just a part-time player still. Meanwhile, the rest of the supporting cast is riddled with poor shooters and limitations.

With Klay Thompson back in the lineup, the time is now for the Warriors to do whatever it takes to continue to compete for championships. Golden State has thrived this season as they hold a 40-13 record and are just two games back from the top spot in the Western Conference.

There is little interest from the Warriors to part with their young players in trade talks, but would they be willing to make a deal in order to acquire a superstar talent? If so, one of the names that has seemingly found his way back onto the trade market is James Harden.

Obviously, there’s a lot to unpack when pondering the idea of a Harden to the Warriors trade. He has real lapses in the effort he gives defensively, he’s used to pounding the air out of the ball in the half-court, and he doesn’t tend to do much moving when he isn’t dribbling the basketball.

For fun, let’s say the Warriors were to attempt to get into the mix to acquire Harden. There would be a whole lot of star-power between Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and, of course, Harden. Could they field a compelling trade offer? Would Harden want to stay? Would Harden adjust his game to fit the Warriors’ system?
