James Harden Considering Free Agency Return To Rockets, Does It Make Sense For Houston?



Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses the the holiday Woj bomb that James Harden is reportedly “seriously considering a return to the Houston Rockets in free agency this July” and what that would mean for the Rockets timeline moving forward. Why would Harden want to leave Philly? Is this possibly just a leverage play? How would Harden returning benefit guys like Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr.? What would the expectations be for a Harden-led Rockets team this time around?

  1. WOJ: “Harden MAY (key word) consider going back to the rockets, IF (another key word) he does not resign a deal with the 76ers” (extremely hypothetical which basically means nothing)

    Harden: we are playing very well here, I don’t know where that report came from, I’m excited to be here in Philly. It ain’t true.

    JACKSON GATLIN: ON TODAYS SHOW.. HUGE XMAS DAY WOJ BOMB !!! 😭😭😭

  2. Is signing Harden worth breaking up the young core? Is it worth it? Once he return, most of the core becomes trade bait..

  3. I don't know about Harden returning but we do need a better facilitator at the point guard position….no knock on KPJ but he sucks at sharing the rock.

  4. I don't think Stone and Harden did a wink wink nod nod BUT I'm sure Morey & Harden schemed when they left and the Rockets weren't on their minds.

  5. Morey did a good job rebuilding the Rocket's East but he keep Doc Rivers. Big mistake and wasted a year of Harden career doing so. I don't think D'Antoni is the answer though. No way Harden would come back here and play with these inexperienced players or for Tilman Fertitta. I won't think he is too fond of Silas's capabilities either.

  6. He would only want to come back because we would be dumb enough to pay him a lot. Not because he wants to "come home". He's giving up getting a ring to come back and get paid aww bless his heart. Pass on Harden. If no one else wants to pay him why should we? If he wants to come home, take home town discount.

  7. Harden now aint worth it…
    Not only does he diminish the progress of The development but he does not bring winning basketball attitudes nor does he have the defensive skillset the rockets need.
    20 mil a season…sure….anything over…nah

  8. I think her would help this year but long term not at all, we need to focus on building around Jalen green

  9. i definitely don't think harden is the answer . the answer is patience cause these young guys are gonna be scary good very soon.

  10. It would be interesting to draft Vic and sign Harden though 😂. Bring KPJ off the bench as a 6 man

  11. Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble with scoot Henderson. But there’s no way he and my guy 6”4 Jalen green will compete together as a championship back court at 6”2 and 6”4… it ain’t happening. In other words, we are not drafting scoot
