The Beard, who will turn 35 next month, averaged almost 17 points and 9 assists in 72 matches for Los Angeles in the last campaign. Harden landed in LA after finally getting traded at the beginning of the regular campaign due to a falling out with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey in the 76ers.

While no longer notching many points like in the past, James showed in the last campaign that he still is a strong pick-and-roll operator and great from the 3-point line while allowing his teammates to shine as he plays with superstars like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

The Beard was still ranked 2nd in the league in points per isolation in the past campaign, and his 72 matches played were his most recent in a campaign in the past 6 years.
