No one. What has been said is that the Lakers are better off with D-Lo than Harden because he doesn't bring the baggage Harden does, is younger and a better fit.

I wouldn't say he's better than Westbrook either but is also a better fit and end of the day, that's what matters.

I also think the Lakers are better off with DLo.

For what it's worth, I don't think anyone on this site has ever said DLo is better than Harden. He's just a better fit.

Getting Harden wouldn't be any different than having Westbrook on the team. He's just not a good fit with guys like AD and Lebron.

@Wamu - “slight upgrade”

This seems kinda silly to me.

JH is sure-shot HOFer but his playoff vanishing acts can't and shouldn't be ignored.

He simply can't be trusted in the playoffs.

And obviously DLo is nowhere near the player JH is. But the Beard has proven to be a complete pain in the ass in Houston and Brooklyn. And it doesn't seem like things are going very well in Philly for him right now.

At this point in their careers I'd rather have DLo. Not as good as JH but a helluva lot less baggage.

It is because of the baggage. That the Lakers don't need.

Not on court play but hey believe what you want.
Throughout the whole conversation we have been talking about them as players.

DLo is a much lesser player.

Porter Jr taking strays, lol.

With the new rules they should consider trading him for smaller pieces

Dnever is an example of a team with no depth

They need to make an aggregate trade with what salary they have left

All of your Harden pimping is homer talk dude
I’m not pimping for Harden. I’m pushing back on this idea that he’s some negative asset that can’t bring back value in a trade.

More than cp3 and kyrie but less than holiday is a fair offer when his other antics are considered
