Let me ask you a question, Joe.

You trying to improve the team, huh?

Okay, let me ask you this.

For $90 million, do you believe I can find me another player that can give me 12 points, go 0-6 from the three-point line, have more turnovers than field goal?

Yes or no, that you believe I can find me another player that makes somewhere between $30 and $35 million that can give me what James Harden is giving me this postseason?

You probably can find a guy.

So see, the thing is, we've got to be careful holding on to a name.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's what he is now in the postseason.

He's a name.

Far too many times we have not seen the regular season James Harden show up in the postseason.

He struggled at times, Joe and Ocho, when he was at his absolute apex in Houston with these type of performances.

Now he's seven, eight, nine years removed.

If we asking him, you know what, James?

Go give us 30, 15, and eight.

James, give us 40, 46, and seven.

That's not him anymore.

He's not getting by guys.

If you think about it, think about how many times he's got to dribble at least 15 times just before he gets into the lane.
