For the past two weeks, the Miami Heat has been one of the favorites to land Houston Rockets superstar James Harden commercially.
However, earlier this week Miami left Harden.
The development is seen as a blow to the Rockets and their efforts to take back some sort of reasonable value for the former regular season MVP.
“The Heat made it known this week that they are not actively pursuing Harden, which is a blow to the Rockets, as Miami is one of those fearless teams, often proven confident in embracing an enigma like Harden, in despite the different tomatoes. flags, ”he reported New York Times.
After a disappointing season, he saw them all go with the small ball, Rockets was a mess.
First came the departures of head coach Mike D’Antoni and general manager Daryl Morey. Then came the reports that superstars Harden and Russell Westbrook wanted from Southeast Texas.
Westbrook has received a wish to be treated at the Washington Wizards in exchange for John Wall, but the Harden saga is ongoing.
The ideal scenario for the Rockets may be to send Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons, but it’s unclear if the Sixers would be willing to break up with the young All-Star.
