James Harden vEry well may be in Houston getting ready to start his season with the Rockets, but he clearly still wants out of the organization.
The former NBA MVP’s list of preferred trade destinations has reportedly expanded.
In addition to the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, the eight-time All-Star would also be open to joining the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
He can want whatever he likes, but Harden is still under contract with the Houston Rockets for at least two more years, including a $41 million salary this season.
Following the departures of general manager Daryl Morey and coach Mike D’Antoni, Harden and fellow former MVP Russell Westbrook requested trades from the Rockets during the offseason.
Westbrook has since been sent packing in a deal that returned John Wall and a heavily protected future first-round draft pick.
