James Harden Reportedly Eyes Nets, Wants Out of Houston

Houston, we have a problem. NBA superstar  James Harden is eyeing a move to the Brooklyn Nets and wants to move on from the Rockets, according to a Monday update from Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle. The NBA’s trade moratorium is now over, which allows transactions to occur at any time.

However, with Harden under contract for at least two more seasons, it’s unclear whether the Rockets would actually move him.

“But Harden wants to move on from the Rockets, the Chronicle has been informed, and is trying to force his way via trade to Brooklyn, allowing The Beard to form the NBA’s next superteam and rejoin forces with former Oklahoma City teammate Kevin Durant.”

According to one of Smith’s colleague at the Houston Chronicle and a longtime Rockets beat writer, the Rockets “believe they can bring in the help” to improve the roster and restore Harden’s confidence in the team’s status as a title contender.

If Harden truly wants out,  there’s probably no going back to him sticking it out in Houston.  The Rockets higher ups probably should have consulted him on a coach and new GM.
