    Yes, use him or trade him. You can't just treat him like this.

    What is silly is someone thinking a player shooting 73.7% (74%) from post ups is in Hardens way. As if Harden shoots
    greater than 74% on drives.

    My point is: “is any star good enough to play next to CP3 and Harden?”

    If a guy shooting 74% from the post is in the way.......would LeBron be in the way? Would AD be in the way?

    Somebody needs to tell Morey to stop chasing a third star. @Corrosion doesnt think we should.

    Yeah, those 4 young Lakers stars come here, Morey would have used "waived and stretch out" provision to take them out.

    I believe it’s a serious question.

    Thread that has been posted before. Can Harden and CP3 coexist with a third star?
    Harden needs a high usage to stay sharp.

    A Ty Lawson needed a higher usage to get in a grove.
    Melo needed a higher usage to get in a grove.
    Every star needs the ball in their hands in order to do well.....with maybe Paul George being the exception.

    Can you win with 2 stars in this league? If not, can the Rockets win with Harden?.....if he can’t coexist with a 3rd star.

    Take Melo out of the equation since people like Corrosion will easily discard them as washed up.
    Enter a popular star in his place. If only an iso player can coexist with CP3/Harden.....will it reduce
    Hardens usage.......and thus his FG%? Too much?
