The Rockets face a crucial offseason in 2023 and already have been rumored for a potential reunion with franchise great James Harden. The Sixers guard could wind up returning to Houston in free agency this offseason, where he’d team up with young stars Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr.
Harden reportedly will turn down his $35.6 million option with Philadelphia for 2023-24 in order to become a free agent.
Green recently appeared on Paul George’s podcast, during which he was asked about the potential impact Harden would have on the young Rockets core. George indicated that there could be both positive and negative impacts of adding Harden to the midst of the Rockets’ rebuilding project, and Houston’s emerging star saw no flaws in the Clippers star’s logic.
