My biggest fear would be him stunting Zion's growth into the alpha we need him to be. Harden would come in and immediately be the #1 option. He also probably makes you win enough that you don't break things up and trade him if a better fitting (with Zion/Ingram) star becomes available.
Trading for Harden wouldn't be terrible, especially if all it cost was Jrue/Lonzo, but it seems like a short term payoff with a high floor rather than a long term payoff with a high ceiling.

I think it also depends on what you think Zion’s timeline and future health is. If you project his career to track someone like Blake Griffin’s and consider his prime to be between his 23-25yoa seasons rather than 28-30, then Harden makes more sense.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other. I think Harden would help his development. Harden already yielded more shots to Westbrook this past season. As he ages I can see his game changing as well. Either way there is enough meat on the bone for two guys to be “alphas” in the offense. The issue would become Ingram, not Zion imo. The third man up and beyond all become role players
