Harden rejected the rocket, even if it was the first salary in history. Since the Rockets got Harden in Thunder, their idea is very simple. Let Harden stay in the Rockets and let Harden retire from the Rockets. Of course, there will be no shortage of money, honor and so on. Harden has basically become the soul of the rocket team. However, after last season's playoff defeat, the internal contradictions of the Rockets were huge, and the Magic Ball theory lost again. Shao Wei, who has only been with the Rockets for one year, wants to leave this time. Even Harden doesn't want to stay with the Rockets, because there is really no hope for him to win the championship. Too extreme play made him less and less confident. After all, the playoffs are not regular season. Harden decided to leave, even though the Rockets directly offered a 2-year 1 billion contract, which was the biggest contract in history, Harden directly refused.
The Nets have good brothers waiting for him, and they have a better chance of winning the championship. Because the Nets have Durant, the eldest brother in the past and the top scorer in the league, although injuries will have a certain impact, it is still a variable. Judging from Harden's personality that he doesn't like to play the key ball, as long as he doesn't want to continue to be the master, the Nets really suit him. Whether Owen goes or not, Harden has someone to rely on. The new Big Three is indeed more lethal and capable of winning the championship than the two giants of the Lakers.
On the whole, the rocket is really not worth looking forward to by Harden. Because for so many years, Harden can't win the championship in the Rockets, and the configuration is basically changing every year, so obviously, there is something wrong with the style of play, which may not be suitable for Harden.
