Damian Lillard and James Harden were the ones to suffer during the offseason with their trade drama. While Lillard found his way exactly before the start of the preseason, Harden had his tough days going on.

Meanwhile, when fans expected the 10x NBA All-Star to join the team in a later stage, Harden walked right in ahead of the Tuesday night clash against the Orlando Magic.
