^ I agree completely. He is the one individual that I felt for the most in the olympic gold medal game. I felt he should have played, but only got in for the last clean-up minutes. To me, this guy is a starter and deserves to be paid and treated as a starter. Sure, he may have sacrificed a run at a title in the short run, but he will be good for a Rocket team that truly wants to compete. I like the guy and wish him an All-Star caliber career.

I hope he does well with the Rockets as well...
but I think Harden is at his best when he's used as a role-player.
He was phenomenal at that when he was in OKC, but I think the Rockets will need more from Harden than he's able to give.

I hope I'm wrong - because I wish the guy the best...
but when you have a decent big man in the paint in Perkins, Kevin Durant and Russel Westbrook on the same team - it can be an opportunity for someone to come off the bench and fill it up like Harden did.

Let's see how Harden does when defenses start to key on him.
