Wade absolutely is.
Very good defender, good passer, gets a lot of steals, he's easily better than Harden, no question.
I like two-way players, not players who play one side of the floor.

Out of curiousity, whats so good about Harden?
He's a good scorer yes, but can he carry a team to a title?
I watch him play and hes basically the same player he was with the Thunder.

Cuz they're saving him for the playoffs.
Derp, derp.
And the East is putrid, so unfortunately they can rest him 20+ games and still get at worst a top-2 seed.
Look at Hardens numbers....they are 6 points better offensively with him on the court than they are without and the defense plays the same with or without.
Despite being the only guy on Houston that can create his own shot, he is still shooting 44%. And is a master at getting to the line. His PER was 23. last year and 20.6 this year. His effective FG% is 50%. He gets to the line, he rebounds, he sets up teammates. Heck even for a much shorter shooting guard, he rebounds better than Durant. And averages more assists.
Obviously, he's not as good as Durant, primarily bc he's not as good of a shooter.

What metric are you using to say he is a better rebounder than Durant?
I love Harden and miss watching him play everyday but it just wasn't going to work out in OKC with him there for many reasons.
Rebounding%
No worries. I think that is an underrated aspect of Durant. Guy has become a damn fine rebounder and should continue to build on that. It has a lot to do with the gameplan in that Perk/Ibaka box out there guys and KD is taller than the rest of the players.

Or because his knees are shot and he can't handle it anymore

I think the Rockets are a little overrated. They have a solid 5-6 guys but the depth is not there. Asik is hanging over their heads right now. Last nights game was the 4th in 5 nights for them but it was uncompetitive from the start and RW isn't even playing. Being the main guy is wearing on Harden. He is a little banged up right now but he used to play with so much more energy when he was on the Thunder. He needs help over there. Durant has another guy and so does Lebron.
