Darius Garland is struggling, but Clippers still don’t regret trading James Harden

Iliyan Lakhani of Clipperholics argues that the LA Clippers should not regret trading James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Darius Garland and a draft pick. Despite Garland's early-season struggles and a high turnover rate during the Clippers' 2-7 start, the writer contends his offensive output remains superior to Harden's steep decline.

Harden is averaging career-low numbers in scoring and assists while shooting poorly for the 5-5 Cavaliers. Lakhani asserts that Garland may also improve once teammate Brandon Ingram returns to ease the team's primary offensive load.
