  • I mean it’s a pretty simple concept, with your usual big 3 of Westbrook, PG, and Kawhi, yall had a mix of ball handlers and creators as well and good spacing. Westbrook actually had a defined roll, was not playing terrible defense, and was also a fitting piece in the system.

    Now, Harden clogs everything up. There too much redundancy. You lost so much defense and size to add offensive stagnation due to overlapping skill sets. Without this trade, the clippers would have been fine. Now, you either need harden in the bench unit as Westbrook fits better with PG and Kawhi, Or sit westbrook and let Harden run the show (Which might be the wrong move, as he is a heliocentric player who has not only lost a step, but is simply not a player you want a team running through come playoff time.) With Harden out there, he takes touches and possessions away from ball dominant players. The trade was destined to fail.
