As the start of the season approaches, the Rockets seem determined to trade James Harden before this deadline. According to the latest rumors from the corridors, two teams are on pole in the case.
There are still a few days, when James Harden was barely returning to training for the Rockets, hard to imagine he would be traded before the start of the season. And yet, we seem to be taking the path according to the latest echoes. Rather than playing for time, Houston seems determined to trade its star for the best deal.
This means that the Bearded Man is not necessarily going to land in one of his preferred destinations. It can be traded to the Hawks or Knicks on paper. However, be reassured, these two teams are not interested in his services. On the other hand, teams like the 76ers or the Heat cannot say the same.
We also had a nice clue to Harden’s next destination, unless of course it’s just a big mistake. Either way, we should quickly be fixed on his fate. The last echoes are quite clear: the old MVP should be traded before the start of the season, in just a few days. Two teams on pole, the Heat and the Nets.

There has been a “significant move” for James Harden to be traded to Brooklyn or Miami before the start of the season.
The Rockets are on the move, and may be seeing their demands lower. We feel, however, a will of the leaders not to live this drama throughout the season. This is where the Nets and the Heat fully intend to take advantage of it, even if it will be necessary to transmit a very convincing offer.
James Harden soon traded? We take the path. It remains to be seen whether the Nets or the Heat will win the jackpot.
