James Harden free agency is already a storyline, with new rumors coming out that he would consider re-joining the Houston Rockets this offseason and leave the Philadelphia 76ers.
Jimbo Slice is still loved in Houston. Returning at some point would be like D Wade returning to Miami at his career end. Harden's jersey will be in the rafters there some day.
If HOU get scoot or top tier passer this off season they don’t need Harden but if they get Wamb they really need passer and Harden at old age is better playmaker than offensive juggernaut he used to be.
Ik this was just a small statement but saying that the sixers aren't aesthetically pleasing is kinda crazy. I mean as a unit I agree they aren't too exciting but embiid as an individual is sensational to watch and that in itself is honestly enough
I tend to think Harden is overrated and even in his prime was subpar in the playoffs, so I’ve criticized how he moves as a player, a ton. That being said, I’m with you, it’s an agenda being pushed by either him or the media. I don’t think he’s leaving Philly for Houston just for the clubs lol.
No harden not going to hoston because look he wants a ring he literry Cut his salary to 15 millon He literry said "what report" on that same day harden did not know thr romurs so no he not going back
Harden is just the vet Rockets need on the team and we wouldn’t have to trade anyone away. Literally no different than Bron leaving Cleveland and coming back.
You have to look deeper here of how the sports system works, it was pushed on Christmas Day because that matchup was wack, that’s all it’s about besides clickbait
Man, good thing James harden isn't just a 7ft tall run and dunker, good thing this guy's got so much talent he's able to contend with the rockets… errr…. The Nets…. I mean philly…. Wait, maybe he's the problem 😉
I respect Harden and his way of playing. I'd love to see him come back top Houston. The Rockets are rebuilding and James would fit in to lead the team to getting better in the future. Go Rockets!!!
Love him or hate him, he wants to win. He took a pay cut when he didn't have to while guys like Beal and Dame took all the money they could get knowing they can't win with the rosters they have
I can see LA throwing their hat in. They're going to have a 50 mill hole in their cap when Russ leaves. Harden seems like a logical upgrade. They could offer Harden 30 and still have some left over for another guy.
Philly would be fine if he walked because Tobias only has one year left. They aren’t winning a championship with him. And you would have money to put someone else with Embiid and Maxey
There’s no basketball reason to go back to Houston. Their best player is Tari Eason. Jalen Green is shooting 41% from the field, Jabari looks straight up like a bust, and those two picks alone over guys like Mobley, Barnes, and Mathurin should scream that the Rockets, as always, can’t draft. Hell, they didn’t even draft James Harden. There is no reason to believe success can be had in Houston and Harden is ring chasing more desperately than Kanye is chasing Kim.
Harden not going to Houston ‼️Their roster is too young it doesn’t make since to get a aging star instead just building your young talent or going after a younger star
This was what Lebron did. Left the Cavs in free agency. Cavs got the number 1 pick Kyrie Irving the next season. Got another #1 pick Andrew Wiggins which they traded for Kevin Love. Lebron benefited from all those picks when he returned to the Cavs.
Hi it’s your friendly neighborhood Rockets fan here. No this is not a good idea. Harden is a good pg now but is nowhere near his mvp caliber level. He’s also proven the past few season to be somewhat of a diva, and considering he would be one of the veteran players on the team would set a bad example for our young core. Not to mention his lackluster defense paired with Jalen Green would make probably the worst defensive guard pair in the league. Also I like the fact that we have so much cap space, and I wouldn’t want to use all of that on Harden.
It’s such a nothing rumor. Harden isn’t thinking about going back to Houston if he wants to win like he’s been saying since he got traded to the nets in the first place. Woj just reported a shitty rumor and it got traction. Harden could end up on another team but Houston would be the last place we see him sign. 0% chance we see that happening I guarantee.

He didn’t deserve his MVP, Bron had better numbers than him across the board that season.
Hear me out. Westbrook's salary falls of the Laker's books then they land Harden.
If HOU get scoot or top tier passer this off season they don’t need Harden but if they get Wamb they really need passer and Harden at old age is better playmaker than offensive juggernaut he used to be.
IF Houston gets wemby, I think the fit would be amazing and translate to a championship within 3-4 years
Who cares for a guy who never show up in playoffs?
Didn’t Harden take a paycut to get PJ into Philly because he wanted to play with his old teammate? Or was that just a fever dream?
Why do they say he doesn’t stay places long? He was in Houston for years and even KD wanted out of the nets that situation was crazy.
Harden bout to pull a Lebron and come home 😂😂
5:28 There’s no way in heck we’re going to pay Harden $40mil a year.
Max contracts are a thing of the past for Harden. At least here in Houston.

This man really miss the Houston clubs

True or not WE DO NOT NEED HIM OR WANT HIM…

BS post

Damn bro James Harden is the most unloyal player of all time

This only makes sense for Houston if they drafted Vic, Harden looks good, and they can a decent contract agreed upon
Lavine for harden

Harden could have been an all time great. The last few years have ruined his legacy
there's just no way Houston wants to pay Harden to come back and Harden probably doesn't want to take a step down away from championship contention 😂
Stop ive heard this one before
I loved harden but vic is the move and JB

Not sure how nba players feel, but I’d hate to have him as a teammate

tim McMahon said there’s rumblings around the league even he joined HOU he still wants to do 1+1 deals
His career, gimme
Philly really don’t like harden.
He misses those Houston strip clubs
