Without contrast, there is no harm.

Despite submitting an early application to leave the team, to this day, the Harden trade has not happened, but has just been sent by the Bucks to the Blazers Holladay, detonating the trade market that has been dormant for months, according to Woj's report, all championship teams in the league will join the battle for Holladay, and according to the Celtics reporter, if you want to get Holladay, you need to prepare at least 2 first-round picks, in addition, he said that some teams may increase their chips in order to stand out.

If there is really no comparison, there is no harm, you know, in the negotiations about Harden, the Clippers can't even give up a first-round pick, but why are these teams so generous in the face of Holladay?

In terms of honor, there are few people in the entire league who can compare to Harden, who is not only MVP, but also won the scoring and assist kings, 10 All-Star selections, 7 All-NBA selections, on the other hand, Holladay, but 2 All-Star benches, and 5 defensive teams;

In terms of data, even if the 34-year-old Harden has entered a career downhill, but last season, he can still average 21 points per game, plus 10.7 assists, is the only 2 players in the league, scoring + assists all double-doubles, as for Holladay, although the average of 19.3 points per game, 7.4 assists is also good, but compared with Harden, it is even inferior to a notch;

In terms of salary, Harden has only one year left on his contract and an annual salary of only $35.64 million, while Holladay has two years, $36.86 million in the 23-24 season, and will reach $39.4 million in the 24-25 season.

However, despite Harden's all-round superiority in honors, statistics and salary, he is not a suitable choice in front of championship teams.

Mainly because Harden's style of play, or the ball-based, need to consume a lot of ball superstar play, he will be a good building cornerstone, can bring an ordinary team, to a height that does not belong to them, but as a puzzle, Harden is much inferior, poor no-ball ability, general defense and other shortcomings, will make it difficult for him to have good chemistry with other stars.

And Holladay, although he can't be the boss, and he doesn't have the "cornerstone" attributes like Harden, but he is a natural golden supporting role, the perfect puzzle for the championship.

Holladay has a comprehensive style of play, can play with the ball or without the ball, can break through with the ball in the face of the frame, can also use his strength and arm reach to eat the opponent in the low position, in addition, catching and shooting, empty cutting and attacking the frame, is also his specialty.

As a two-way guard, Holladay's organizational ability cannot be ignored, although it is not up to the level of Paul and Harden, but it is also ahead of at least 90% of the players in the league;

Finally, defense, as a 3-time player named to the best defensive team, Holladay can be said to be one of the best defensive players in the league in this position, especially for some guards who are not tall enough, Holladay is simply a nightmare existence, once in the playoffs with Rondo, locked up the Blazers double gun, 21 years Bucks won the championship, Holladay's defense is even more decisive, Butler, Irving, Harden, Trae Young are severely limited by him, in the Finals, Holladay can make the Suns from dual core to single core every game.

Offensive all-rounder + first-class organization + top-level defense, such Holladay, not only can cooperate with any star, but also adapt to various tactics and play various roles, so when he has the opportunity to be put on the shelf, those teams that are eager to compete for the championship will definitely find ways to fight for it.
