Report: Harden still wants out of Houston Rockets
Print Edition
The Houston Rockets tried to convince James Harden to stay by importing John Wall from the Washington Wizards.
Unfortunately for the Rockets, the maneuver doesn’t seem to have worked. Harden, the three-time defending National Basketball Association scoring leader and a former league MVP, has continued to ask for a trade out of Houston, ESPN said. According to Monday’s report, after Harden arrived late to Rockets training camp last week he “expressed to Rockets ownership and management his intention to be professional and engaged upon joining the team.” But he still wants a “fresh start” elsewhere, the report added. The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly talked with the Rockets about trades. Brooklyn would be able to reunite Harden with his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Kevin Durant, who has repeatedly shot down reports that he and Harden have discussed Harden’s joining Brooklyn since training camp opened earlier this month. Harden has not practiced while going through the NBA’s COVID-19 protocol. New Rockets coach Stephen Silas said Harden will make his preseason debut against the San Antonio Spurs today. The Rockets traded guard Russell Westbrook to Washington for Wall just before the start of camp. Westbrook’s one-year teaming with Harden didn’t pay off, as the Rockets lost in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers.
