Does the Harden trade make Gay more getable?

I would have preferred a proper rebuild (we had no bench and Bargnani was still on the roster) instead of acquiring Gay.. but since it appeared BC was just trying to get talent to win I thought Gay would have been a good upgrade.

Well egg on my face.

In hindsight.. the trade nailed the last coffin shut for BC and we eventually got that bench. So win-win.
