The situation with the Houston Rockets has been slightly resolved. The main NBA story of late featured the Rockets sending Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards in exchange for John Wall. Now, they could look to move James Harden if they get the right return for him. Could the Philadelphia 76ers move an All-Star to close a deal?
The Rockets paired Wall with Harden, which Harden apparently would have preferred over the initial pair with Westbrook. Harden has been one of the biggest names on the business block this NBA offseason.
Harden has been linked to many teams but he has a preferred destination being the Brooklyn Nets. This trade would send him to a contender in the Eastern Conference but not the Nets. Instead, it would be the Philadelphia 76ers in this scenario.
Early in the NBA offseason, the 76ers hired Doc Rivers as the new head coach and now they have Daryl Morey in the front office making basketball decisions. They have said they are not interested in trading Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid. This could change in the blink of an eye if it is possible to acquire Harden.
This would be another successful trade that would shake up the league right away. If the Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers were to seek a deal, this one could do the job.
