Harden can still run an offense and he can get by his man with his skill level, but he just has trouble finishing at the rim. It was really apparent watching the Nets series. Philly is in a tough spot. Harden is not a max player any longer, but they really need to keep him to remain a contender. I think he is using Houston as leverage. With that being said, I am not sure Houston should be offering a max contract to Harden either. They are in a tricky spot as well though, as their first round pick next year goes to OKC (Those Darn Thunder.....they are amazing).
So two teams this offseason who have different pressures, but the pressure is real. And a compromised star will do his best to use leverage of both to secure is probable last huge payday.
