How Does Philadelphia 76ers Hiring Nick Nurse Impact Houston Rockets Pursuit Of James Harden?
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost Rockets Wire Editor Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) to discuss how the Philadelphia 76ers hiring Nick Nurse as their next head coach impacts the Houston Rockets pursuit of James Harden in free agency this offseason, whether the Nurse hire pushes Harden even further away from Philly or if this was a decision that he would have signed off on, weighing the different factors likely going into Harden’s decision this summer, and the Rockets reportedly being “enamored” with Amen Thompson as a prospect and the possibility that leaks like this are intentional from the Houston front office this time around compared to last year.

Does Philly signing Nurse make Harden MORE or LESS likely to leave?
Random thought, if the Hornets are looking to draft Scoot and reboot at PG and the Rockets, at #4, need a PG, the Rockets should give Charlotte the #4 and receive LaMelo Ball along with Charlotte's 27 pick. Thoughts?
Rockets can then get a few potential role-players at #20 and #27 and can focus their attention to free-agency (Jaylen Brown, Harden, whomever). Mix in some veterans with the youth.

I look at the hire as weather if they want Harden back or not they are going to do what’s best for them meaning the Sixers are not going to give him a four year max and the focus for them is to build around Joel.
It’s the same for us really expect we are rebuilding Udoka not Harden type of coach but if we are factoring the other stuff then and if the rockets and the Sixers offer the same money then he might choose Houston.
Good segment Jackson🔥
