Different era/pace and he wasnt as good defensively as cp was, the two seasons can’t be compared. That being said I still think peak harden is better. His scoring ability during 18 and 19 was on another level that cp could never replicate and he was still an elite playmaker. Cp is the better defender of course but I still feel like hardens scoring ability is more impressive/irreplaceable.

Ehh you could argue it’s a bit pointless bc he probably won’t do anything come playoff time or isn’t reliable. But the nuggets are of course aware of that and his abilities at this point. Resigning him is both predictable and not a risk. Nuggets don’t have much to work with money wise in general and are simply looking to fill the back up pg spot so keeping him doesn’t rock the boat. It would be nice to have some great six man but If they really could’ve done better then him then they would have.
