#Cavs President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman on acquiring James Harden and breaking up the Core Four: Altman said the move was all about opportunity and that Harden identified Cleveland as a landing spot. "James Harden has never missed the playoffs in his career, think about that: 16 years. James has played in 173 playoff games, logging over 6,000 minutes of postseason basketball. He’s playing at an elite level this year, and that helps us. That was the reason."
