All-Star guard James Harden recently indicated to the Rockets that he would be open to a trade to either the 76ers or other perceived NBA title contenders, according to a new ESPN report.
This represents a change from Harden’s initial focus in recent weeks of solely seeking a trade to the Nets.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Tim MacMahon, the Sixers and Rockets have yet to have any substantive talks about a potential deal.
While former Rockets GM Daryl Morey now leads the basketball operations department in Philadelphia, he’s said thus far that he wants to keep the All-Star duo of Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid together.
If that’s the case, it would seem to be difficult for the 76ers to meet Houston’s asking price.
Houston hasn’t wavered in what the Rockets consider a fair asking price for Harden: a package that includes a young franchise cornerstone and a bundle of first-round picks and/or talented players on rookie contracts, sources said, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Tim MacMahon
