Rockets Want James Harden Trade ‘Done Sooner Than Later’
The Houston Rockets have opened up trade discussions on James Harden with teams beyond the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.
“They’re starting to gather more interest in both the Eastern and Western Conferences,” said Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN.
More teams are becoming comfortable with trading for Harden without an assurance he would commit long-term.
“One thing is for certain: Houston would like to get this done sooner than later. This is a pall over the entire organization…
“They’ve got to find the right deal. This is too important for the organization long-term. They have a checklist for what they would like in a deal. You don’t always get everything you want in one of these trades, but they have to really maximize value. That’s going to be a really good young player and draft picks, at the very least as the comb the league.
“They’re looking at three-team scenarios. Perhaps a particular team doesn’t exactly have the player they want but they can help go get that player in a bigger deal.”
