Rockets Expand James Harden Trade Discussions
The Houston Rockets are increasingly expending trade discussions of James Harden beyond his preferred destinations of the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. The Miami Heat have also been mentioned as a potential trade destination for Harden.
The Rockets have communicated those talks with Harden.
Several teams are feeling less inhibited about trading for Harden without an assurance he can become a free agent in two years.
The 76ers have signaled a willingness to include Ben Simmons in a trade for Harden, but those talks have come nowhere close to a deal.
The Nets, meanwhile, are limited by the Rockets lack of interest in their personnel and would need a third team to emerge.
