James Harden's decline shows Rockets should have traded him even earlier

It was yet another unceremonious exit from the postseason for former Rockets star James Harden as the Miami Heat sent the Philadelphia 76ers home last Thursday. Harden was the primary topic of conversation as he added to his résumé of playoff duds, scoring just 11 points and shooting 4-for-9 from the floor in the deciding Game 6. Amazingly, he took just two shots during the entire second half, a stat that would be mind-boggling for a star of Harden's status, if it were literally anyone else.

Philadelphia and Daryl Morey now have a difficult - and awkward - decision ahead of them this summer.
