What happened between the Rockets and Harden should be the most interesting thing in the NBA at present. Harden has been playing for the Rockets for eight years, and he has made a lot of achievements in these eight years. However, looking at the fading hope of winning the championship, Harden chose to leave the Rockets and designated the Nets as his next home, but the negotiations between the Rockets and Nets were not smooth. The Rockets were enraged and announced Harden's trading price. I'm afraid the Nets are out!
Announced the trading price of James Harden
In fact, the relationship between Harden and the Rockets is a little subtle now. The former refused the $13 million given by the Rockets for two years and insisted on leaving, but the Rockets didn't want to let Harden go from the bottom of their hearts, so the transactions of Harden have stopped at present. In fact, Harden thinks that the reason why the Rockets have no hope of winning the championship lies in the stingy new boss Fertitta.
This new boss can be said to have raised the skill point of "painting cakes" to a full level. Since he took over, he has said that he wants to win the championship every year, even if he has to pay luxury tax, he has to trade powerful players, but he has not been drumming around every year to the point where he needs to pay luxury tax. The number of false cries of "wolf coming" has increased, and Harden has been completely disappointed.
After the first round of negotiations with the Nets, the Rockets directly released their own exchange offer for Harden. If you want to exchange Harden, you need at least a young and proven player and a lot of draft picks. The Nets were excluded from this quotation, because the Nets couldn't produce a young player who proved himself except Owen and Durant.
The single quotation shows that the Rockets were angered by Harden's actions. At present, there are only 76 players who can come up with such an offer, and 76 players can give Simmons+a large number of draft picks. This chip is just the same as the Rockets' quotation. If the Rockets really ignore Harden's attitude, then Harden's dream of joining Durant Owen will also be shattered.
