James Harden could become available to the Golden State Warriors. Here are seven trade packages to acquire the former MVP.

The relationship between James Harden and the Houston Rockets is reaching an unrepairable point. Harden has shown reluctance to return to the franchise after reported turmoil – putting him on the radar of any team willing to trade for him. Should the Golden State Warriors enter the bidding?

Harden has led the league in scoring at an electric rate in recent years, averaging 30+ points per game in each of the last three seasons. He is an all-time great offensive talent with dual shot-creating and playmaking skills.

There is no question that adding Harden to this roster in a vacuum makes the Warriors better. However, how much can they give up before that statement is no longer true? What is the most realistic package the Dubs can offer?

The Warriors will have to compete with franchises such as the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets who are rumored to swing for Harden. Assuming the Warriors are interested, here are seven trade packages that should make them the top bidder.
