Harden and the rocket have deep feelings. It was the Rockets that gave Harden the chance to become the number one star in the league from the role of the sixth man. Although Harden was selected by the Thunder, in the Thunder, Harden's position can only be ranked behind Durant and Westbrook, and even Ibaka's position is not as good.
The poor performance of the finals also made the Thunder management not so determined to keep Harden, so the contract offered to Harden was relatively low. Harden also left the Thunder because of this choice, and Harden was finally traded to the Rockets. Now it seems that this is the right decision.
Harden came to the Rockets and was regarded as the absolute core of the team. The lineup of the team is also built around Harden. Harden also grew into a top star in the league and won all the honors he could get. Harden left his peak in Houston. In recent years, the Rockets have won the scoring champion and MVP in the regular season.
He got all the honors he could get, but he failed to win the championship. The closest one was to reach the western conference finals with Paul, but unfortunately I lost in the end. Later, because of the conflict with Paul, the Rockets sent Paul away for Shao Wei, but it was not good for the reunion of the former good brothers.
They still can't win the championship. At the beginning of the new season, Shao Wei was sent to Wizards in exchange for Wall, which made Harden lose hope of winning the championship, so he made a deal and left the team he had stayed for many years. Although the Rockets boss was not very willing to leave Harden, he also offered Harden a high-priced contract renewal.
However, Harden left very firmly. Finally, after some negotiations, the Rockets finally sent Harden to the Nets, and Harden was able to form a brand-new Big Three with Durant Owen. Immediately, the Nets became the favorite to win the championship. Although the Nets were eventually eliminated by the Bucks in the playoffs due to injury, the Nets are still a strong contender for the championship.
The rockets began their own reconstruction process. They sent away the Oladipo that Harden bought, and chose to spoil it. In the end, they didn't win the first prize, but they won the second prize, but it was not bad. There are many young people in the Rockets who play very well. As long as you choose a cornerstone player, the road to reconstruction will soon be on the right track. Harden, after winning the championship, he may return to the Rockets one day.
