This Offseason Harden is almost a Houston Guarantee, but I think it would be stupid to trade away their young guys to win now. This is such a promising team that could become a dynasty if players develop how they're projected. However, they can still be competitive in the meantime. Trading for O.G. and Achiuwa gives them a deeper more well-rounded team and gives them an elite perimeter defender alongside Green and Harden, neither of which are defenders.
