Harden produces numbers, not wins.  That's the problem and why, as @NBASupes suggests, his value is much lower than expected.

He produces wins about as much as anyone who's played this game but he's a tough fit for teams trying to win a title and his best value is exclusively on the ball as the scorer + playmaker and doesn't offer elite defense to counter his flaws. That's why teams don't see trading key players to be good as Harden wants to win a title and you will need two stars with him to do that, not just one. 

The offers were better around the draft to be honest but Houston felt 20/1.00 was BS. Now they are at 10/1.00. Good luck

We have to get past Bucks first … far from over … don’t look past your current opponent… that is what bucks did when they knew Trae was out.

Harden is not a guy like Durant that any team could use. Finding a trade partner might be challenging.

Its beyond difficult due to his fit and lifestyle choices. 

Only 6 teams are on his list for trades

His favorite team where he wants to go: Los Angeles Clippers

His 2nd favorite: Philadelphia 

3rd: Golden State 

4th: Boston

5th and 6th are teams who haven't or can't make an offer: Brooklyn and the Lakers.

 

Houston is unwilling to work with LAC.

Philly is unwilling to trade Joel and Ben

Golden State is unwilling to trade the big 3 and Wiseman.

James only wants to play in Boston if Jaylen and Jayson are there. Kemba can scram but there is no real trade interest in Kemba around the league.

Brooklyn doesn't have interest which was the opposite of what I heard in the past but he doubled down on it when we talked this morning.

Lakers haven't even called for Harden, lol. They are basically a name just to show. 

Obviously a random team can make an offer but what's stopping James from doing them like Houston? Nothing. 

Golden State has the best offer but it's not as good as it was going to be during the draft. Like not even half as good. Houston f***ed that one up thinking we deserve the moon for Harden. Now they aren't going to get the stars either. 

Harris and Walker are not positive values. 

Wiggins is a negative value.

Houston refuses to work with the Clippers.

NBA is weird. Teams will commit 30 mil per for B level stars, but an A level star can be virtually untradable.

Willingness to play for you compared to a lack of willingness to play for you makes a massive difference.

Yea, those B level players don't clash with teammate and coaches, and then pout and demand a trade the minute the team starts falling out of championship contention. Today's NBA top stars are over privileged and pampered babies, and they run the league.
