Rockets No. 1 James Harden has reportedly refused an annual salary of $50 million and wants Houston to trade him to the Nets and join forces with former Thunder teammate Kevin Durant, but Shams Charania, a famous reporter from The Athletic, said on the show that the Rockets are not very interested in this unless Brooklyn exchanges one of the two giants Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving.

"ESPN" authoritative reporter Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that Harden has told the team's senior management that he wants to be traded to the Nets and refuses to renew his contract for a sky-high price of US$103 million in two years. However, Chalania, a famous reporter from The Athletic, said, "As far as the news I received, the Rockets are not very interested, unless the deal includes Irving or Durant."

Chalania also emphasized that the Rockets do not have to trade Harden. "ESPN" salary expert Bobby Marks pointed out that the "Big Beard" has three years left in the contract with Houston, including two years of guarantee, with the 2022-23 season being a player option, worth $46.9 million.

Harden's partner Russell Westbrook shouted "Sell me" earlier than him, but several sources told The Ringer that "Wai Young" has "very little" interest in the league. "ESPN" pointed out that the Rockets have been looking for trading partners, but the market conditions of "Wai Shao" are not good. The Houston Chronicle bluntly stated that "Mr. Wei" did not have many suitors.
