He left Rockets last year, and has been on two teams since :lol:

Good luck trusting him to remain happy on your team

Butler, Simmons and now Harden.
Why doesn't anyone want to play with Embiid?

What a weird article to put out on Christmas. Reeks of Woj trying to steal the spotlight before the first game of the day.

Why the hell would he want to go back to Houston and that roster? It's not like he's playing for like OKC... Philly has a pretty entertaining nightlife/strip clubs no?

Would Houston wants Harden back?

I doubt it.

Houston's strip clubs are way more sleazy than Philly's. Can't blame him.

Bleh, It's Harden's camp using this as leverage for a big contract after taking his last discount.

I'm not worrying for this until June, so whatever.

Stone has publicly stated he would love to have harden back.. Harden is averaging 22 points 11 league high assists and 7 boards a game while taking almost 10 less shots a game during his 36 points year. Including coming off a 21 assists triple double game.He is still a damn good player

Butler actually wanted to stay. It was the dumbass Sixers brass who thought he wasn't worth max at first lol.

This guy has no loyalty he is scummy on and off the court, he is the same guy who paid some thugs to jump a person.

they would, he would mentor jalen green and would help alperen sengun and jabari smith jr develop with two man game

if harden signs with the rockets, that would mean he happily embraced the mentor role with the sole purpose of helping young players develop, he knows they wont be competitive and he wouldnt be playing to put up huge numbers

He wants the max and Philly is trying to low ball him. He may have been ok with a 1 year discount, but im guessing he wants a real long term big money contract to end his career and Philly is, rightfully, hesitant. But theyre not in any place to say no to that, as Harden walking may have Embiid wanting out.

And ya, Houston would be dumb to say no. You got enough young talent and a billion picks; you dont say no to a star that wants to come play for you if all it takes is cap space.

"considering a return" ... "if he decides against a new deal"

ESPN is forcing Woj to write non stories and it's frustrating.

I doubt they're going to destroy him the way they did draftexpress which used to be the gold standard and talked about everywhere but the more and more irrelevant information and tweets he puts out there the less and less relevant he becomes compared to his competitor.

This is just Harden trying to show Philly he has options to gain leverage
