Should I trade James Harden for Blake Griffin now that he is on the rockets?
Head to head, not playing categories only purely points

    James Harden will need to work out the kinks with Linsanity because they're both combo guards. I think Lins personality will let Harden take the alpha dog role (Lin looks to be a team player first and foremost), which is best for both of them. If this is the case, Harden will have massive upside (his upside was limited by the other two superstars in OKC), and Asik looks to have a breakout year, he already looks to be a monster on the glass. Why do I say this? Asik racked up a stupendous 21.1 RP48 in the pre-season, 13% of his rebounds last year were offensive, and 82games gave him a rebounding rating of 35.1 (to put this into perspective, Kevin Love has 10% ORP and a rating of 34.4). And how does this affect Harden? Well, in a nutshell, it gives him more confidence to chuck up shots. And how is this a good thing? Well Harden has typically shown that he shoots 15% better in the first 15 seconds of shot clock, rather than the last 10 seconds (in fact his clutch statistics are not all that good at all). :D

    Nah, I think Harden is still the better option. He's great across categories/Griffin will kill your FT%
