James Harden is currently one of the best guards in the NBA, even if he isn’t scoring at the level, he showed during his time with the Houston Rockets. He is still an elite playmaker and can still provide complementary scoring. Currently, James Harden is averaging 21.8 PPG, 6.4 RPG, and 11.1 APG for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Though the Philadelphia 76ers are currently doing well, there have been rumors that suggest James Harden may seek to leave the team. Adrian Wojnarowski has recently stated that there is the possibility that James Harden could elect to return to the Houston Rockets.
Harden and his inner circle have been openly weighing Houston in recent months, sources said, a remarkable possibility given that he requested and received a trade out of the franchise less than two years ago.
His future with the 76ers remains a fluid proposition, one that has been buoyed with seven straight victories on the way into a Christmas Day meeting with the New York Knicks (noon ET on ABC and ESPN).
Harden is on a productive roll with All-NBA center Joel Embiid, and the state of that partnership and the Sixers’ postseason success could well be telltale factors in how Harden proceeds past this season. Experiencing a deep playoff run in a rabid, hungry Philadelphia marketplace could positively impact his thinking — just as the fallout of an early exit could, too.
There is no doubt that returning to the Houston Rockets would likely lessen James Harden’s chances of winning a championship. It is hard to see him doing so, considering James Harden is getting older and is entering the latter stages of his career. A championship is the only award that he is missing, and James Harden has a way better chance of winning it with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Houston Rockets.
James Harden Squashes Rockets Rumors
Ky Carlin of Sixers Wire has recently revealed James Harden’s reaction to rumors about him joining the Houston Rockets in the future. Harden claimed that he is “excited” to be in Philadelphia and added that he didn’t know “where that report came from.”
“I’m here,” he stated. “We’re playing very well and I don’t know where that report came from, but I’m excited to be here and we’re playing very well. We’re continuing to get better.”
It is clear that, as of right now, James Harden is happy with the Philadelphia 76ers. The team has now won 8 games in a row after beating the New York Knicks, and they only have two more losses than the 1st seeded Boston Celtics. They have clearly bounced back after a poor start.
Hopefully, we do see James Harden win a championship with the Philadelphia 76ers. They are definitely a talented squad, and they definitely have a chance of winning it all this year.
