Harden was the third pick in the 2009 NBA Draft out of Arizona State.
He spent the first three years of his career in Oklahoma City (with Durant), and they reached the 2012 NBA Finals.
Following the Thunder, he played nine years with the Houston Rockets.
The 2018 MVP has also played for the Nets, 76ers and Clippers.
He was briefly teammates (again) with Durant in Brooklyn, but they were unable to get out of the second round of the NBA playoffs.
This past year, Harden appeared in 72 games for the Clippers and finished the regular season with averages of 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 42.8% from the field and 38.1% from the three-point range.
The Clippers were the fourth seed in the Western Conference with a 51-31 record, but they lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the first round (in six games).
