Let’s overthink this James Harden to Houston thing, and the Harden-Joel Embiid fit/relationship in general, shall we?
We can say it, Harden and Embiid isn’t an ideal fit. They each like to have the ball. When Embiid draws a crowd he can’t always make the right pass, and when he does, and the right pass is James, the third-most prolific three-point shooter in history ironically, hilariously doesn’t love to chuck ‘em up off the catch. (Him doing so anyway may just be the most important shot of the Sixers’ postseason).
Still, they’ve both adapted to each other.
