Hardens 24 years of age with:
2X All Star
3rd Team All-NBA
NBA Sixth Man of Year
and you can add at least an All-NBA Second team to that list for this year.
He easily projects to be a HOF type player. Nothing wrong with saying that. Only thing stopping him is injuries.

If we're being liberal about who's making the HOF... and assuming every current player will play till 35 years of age
2005 Spurs --- Nash, Amare, Marion, Wallace, Wallace, Billups, Allen, Carmelo, Camby, Johnson, McDyess
2004 pistons --- Shaq, Kobe, Payton, Malone, Redd, Kidd, Artest, O'Neal, Reggie, Kukoc
1999 Spurs --- Garnett, Shaq, Kobe, Sabonis, Sheed, Rice, Horry, Camby, Houston, Sprewell
2012 Heat --- Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Dirk, Carmelo, Chandler, George, Allen, Garnett, Pierce, Rondo

Hey I didn't set the precedent. You can argue some of these players all day but what's the point of the thread really? Harden currently is no more of a HOFer than Redd IMO. And Chandler got a DPOY and Championship. Worse players have gotten in.

That 2003-04 Lakers team is the definition of stacked;
Shaquille O'Neal
Horace Grant
Karl Malone
Stanislav Medvedenko
Brian Cook
Rick Fox
Devean George
Luke Walton
Kobe Bryant
Kareem Rush
Bryon Russell
Gary Payton
Derek Fisher
Jannero Pargo
And they still lost.

Eh, how many guys were in their primes though? Sometimes it's about the level of performance, and you have to throw names completely out the window.
If Malone didn't hurt his knee, the season doesn't unfold the same way. Truth be told, I wasn't expecting to make it to the Finals anyway. The TWolves seemed like a team of destiny, and I fully expected them to get past us and beat Detroit (but Cassell hurt his back).
It is what it is...

NBA sixth man of the year
Re: Has any team took out 8 HOF players in the postseason like the Mavs did in 2011?
8 actually seems like a relatively small number.
Just off the top of my head The Pistons of the late 80s would've gotten Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ, Worthy, Magic, Kareem ... just in the last two rounds. That's 7 right there. I'd have to look up who they got in rounds 1 and 2. Most of the teams from that era are going to put up big numbers in this regard. The league wasn't as diluted, and more teams were able to fill there bench with later career HoFers.
The 87 Celtics would've have five with Walton on the bench. There were Sixer teams with Malone, Doc, and Barkley.

Chamberlain's '67 Sixers crushed 11 HOFers in the '67 post-season...
Oscar, Lucas, Russell, Havlicek, Howell, Sam Jones, KC Jones, Satch Sanders, Wayne Embry, Rick Barry, and Nate Thurmond....in three playoff rounds.

I would. Sure he won a DPOY (which could've been Duncans) but 0 all stars, 0 All NBA teams and only 4 All D teams (2 2nd team) in 18 years. I say only because defence is supposed to be his specialty. Solid player but not a HOFer to me.
I could also add Rasheed Wallace to the 2010 Lakers as he's on your list
