    The Houston Rockets are increasingly expanding trade discussions on All-NBA guard James Harden beyond his preferred destinations of Brooklyn and Philadelphia, sources tell ESPN.

    Several playoff-caliber teams in the Eastern and Western conferences tell ESPN that they're finding increased comfort in committing high-level trade assets in talks to acquire Harden. The Rockets have ongoing discussions on several fronts and have been communicating with Harden about those scenarios, sources said.

    Several teams tell ESPN that they're feeling less inhibited about trading for Harden without an assurance that he'd re-sign once he can become a free agent in two years.

    While the Sixers have signaled a willingness to include All-Star guard Ben Simmons in trade packages for Harden, those talks have come nowhere close to a deal, sources said. The Nets are limited by the Rockets' interest in their personnel, and likely would need a third team to emerge in talks, sources said. So far, the Rockets steep asking price of young players and pick hasn't moved any of their discussions into an advanced stage.

    The Rockets are planning to start the season next week with Harden sharing the backcourt with John Wall but are exhibiting a desire to teams that they'll move on completing a deal as soon as possible, sources said.

    Meh whatever. He’s not gonna win anything regardless. He’s not built like the goats. Have fun in your new city’s strip clubs.

    Anyone wondering who is the one communicating with Harden, because just yesterday he had yet to talk to Mr. Stone. Do you think maybe the janitor is conveying his sauces?

    Please make it happen so it stops already. All I here about is Harden this, Harden that. Can we talk about the other players, Coach Silas and why the **** Stone is hiding in a rock and not talking to the media?

    Once the cat is out of the bag, it doesn't take long. It's possible tonight will be his last game as a Rocket.

    Yeah, I would imagine he would get traded before the 1st game of the regular season.

    Bring in Toronto, bring in Indy, bring in all the eastern conference teams. Whoever gets Harden is getting a top 3 seed in the East guaranteed.

    Oh yea take a look at this.
    " Several playoff-caliber teams in the Eastern and Western conferences tell ESPN that they're finding increased comfort in committing high-level trade assets in talks to acquire Harden.

    But teams dont want Harden LOL. But Harden is a caner LOL. Teams are hesitant about their culture LOL. Philly WILL NOT INCLUDE BEN SIMMONS LOL.

    Look at that hmmmm.

    "Rockets expanding Harden trade"

    "Simmons trade talks aren't fluid"

    Basicalky the market for Harden is not what some of us want it to be...would not be surprised if this now turns around and he stays for at least a season

    Good.

    Also good to hear Western Conference teams. Seems like Denver and Portland would be on that menu. Not sure i like anything from Portland, though.
