Report: Rockets would require ‘monstrous return’ to trade James Harden

With James Harden under contract for at least two more seasons, the Rockets would require a “monstrous return” to consider trading him, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Zach Lowe, and Ramona Shelburne.
While Harden has yet to issue a formal trade request, he’s becoming increasingly intrigued by the Nets and former teammate Kevin Durant as a potential destination, according to ESPN’s report.
However, even if he were to ask out, his leverage appears to be limited.
If the Rockets did decide to engage in trade talks on Harden, they’ve privately made it clear that they would require a monstrous return of players, draft picks and pick swaps, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Zach Lowe, and Ramona Shelburne.
Now 31 years old, Harden has played eight of his 11 NBA seasons with the Rockets, and he’s made the playoffs in all of them
