The Houston Rockets seems not ready to let James Harden go, but La Barba’s request is something the franchise cannot fulfill. As his mother said, Harden only thinks about getting the NBA ring, something that is really unlikely with the roster that the Texas franchise currently has.
Houston let Russell Westbrook go for a John Wall that is really anyone’s guess after spending the last few seasons off the court, although he managed to be an All-Star player in his first. The same happens with DeMarcus Cousins, who at his peak knew how to be the best player in his position.
Rockets feel like they can do cool things, but clearly they depend on the physiques of both players. James Harden got tired of waiting and is clear that his destination is outside of Houston, so it would be interesting to start looking at different options. The Philadelphia 76ers is currently not having much interest from Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers appear as an option.
James Harden could go to the Los Angeles Clippers
Paul George had a bad playoffs with the Clippers and the love of the fans towards him is dripping. Without a doubt, a transfer by James Harden to put him together with Kawhi Leonard would be more than interesting, since the Angelenos would be obtaining a star with which they could aspire to the championship and dethrone the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Rockets would receive a Paul George wanting to show that he is still one of the best players in the NBA, in addition to other interesting elements such as Patrick Beverley, who would return to Houston, Mfiondu Kabengele and some future draft rounds. If the start of both teams remains the same as last year, it is a trade that both franchises should discuss.
