According to previous ESPN reporter Mike Mahon, the Rockets also talked about the Harden deal. Unless a team gives other stars plus multiple draft picks, this will make them consider trading Harden. The asking price of
is beyond the reach of many teams. Harden is one of the best players in the league today. The Rockets have not missed the playoffs after getting him, which is enough to prove his value. Obviously, the Rockets do not want to cut prices to trade, but want him to stay in the team, which is different from Westbrook.
After Harden expressed his desire to leave, the Rockets wanted to keep him and make him change his mind. According to Rocket reporter Adam Spolane, Harden has returned to Houston on Friday local time. It can be seen from this that Harden has not broken his face with the Rockets. Once the team becomes more competitive, he is still willing to stay in the team. Don't forget, he has already opened a restaurant in Rocket, which shows that he is still full of love for this city.
has already arrived in Houston, and Harden’s time to return to the team has also been determined. He will participate in the team’s first training camp for the new season on Monday (tomorrow) Beijing time.
The Rockets held individual training the day before yesterday. Players such as Wood, Cousins, and Gordon made their appearances, but Harden did not participate. But he doesn't want to return, let alone push the team to the palace, he is just celebrating the birthday of his friend.
With the time for Harden's return to the team is determined, the Rockets' true goal has been achieved. After Harden and Westbrook had the idea of leaving the team at the same time, they wanted to keep Harden, want to get rid of Westbrook, just like Paul did before, and then gamble again. This time Wall's arrival was even more despised by the outside world. The former All-Star has not played for more than 700 consecutive days, but for Harden, they are willing to try it.
Harden has returned now, at least before the start of the new season, the Rockets don't have to worry about him leaving, this is enough. In addition, once some teams have ideas, they will be happy to come up with higher chips during the season, and the Rockets will get more at that time. This is their real wishful thinking.
