Harden may come off the bench but he gets starters minutes tho. and he gets to be the focal point of the offense when the second unit is in which would not happen if he started. and as you've seen he gets to close out games, sharing ball handling duties with Westbrook/Fisher and usually being the main point for them.
I could easily accept being the 6th man if it was similar to Harden's situation.
