The data of Harden and Russell are almost the same, Russell's annual salary is 17.3 million, and Harden's annual salary is 35.64 million, so when it comes to cost performance, Russell is unanimously considered to be more cost-effective than Harden! Is that really the case?
Except for the decline in Harden's influence on the offensive end, there is no regression in all other aspects, and Harden can play a supernatural performance from time to time, Harden's ability to play the bottom of the regular season is still very strong, and his influence and control of the game are stronger than Russell!
Harden in the playoffs is also stronger than Russell, Russell is a well-known playoff water bird, so soft that he can't do it, although Harden is also criticized for his playoff ability, it's just that Harden didn't win the championship in the playoffs, if he wins even one championship, there will be no such remarks!
If Harden is traded for Russell now, will Lakers fans agree?
