This is why you gotta be careful sacrificing for the team. Cause if you sit here and accept a 6th man role or accept some wink wink low one year deal, you're gonna get pigeonholed. Oh lets pay him the average 6th man salary.. Championships aside looking at it from a business standpoint only, moving to Houston was the best thing for Harden career. Huge contract, adidas deal, huge endorsements, number one option.
