Harden, as good as he is, is a guy who needs the ball in order to get into an offensive flow and be effective. I would think he wouldn't be a good fit with another guard who likes to handle the ball, even if that other guard is someone who is quite happy to pass the ball, like Schved.

I never thought the Harden/Lin pairing was going to be overly effective, to be honest, and it was not because Lin was overrated by folks after Linsanity.
