For Houston, getting a REAL POINT GUARD who is being shooting lights out and playing at a after BKN peak level this year. Now don't be yelling at me Houston fan. Let me explain why you do this trade. Harden is OLD. Yes, but he is still a league top 20.27+5+8 this year.Putting up 5.2 BPM, best since he leave you. You need a point guard. That's for sure. Reed is playing well but when comes to playoff nobody knows. Harden can play pick with Sengun. He knew about KD. Plus Harden is basically the symbol of the city and I would be delighted as a pure Texan that he comes home for one last Horray. For LAC, Vanvleet is a smaller contract. Eason and Sheppard are valuable and the BKN pick is basically a lottery pick because nobody think BKN can breakout next season. I know this may not be enough for Harden,but like there is no reason to keep him if they want to sell the team.
