The early chatter about Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard James Harden considering a return to Houston dates back to before he requested a trade out of Brooklyn, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Philadelphia 76ers' James Harden plays during an NBA basketball game, Friday, Dec. 23, 2022, in Philadelphia. Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard James Harden considering a return to HoustonWhen Nets officials first learned of Harden's waning commitment to their franchise, his purported interest in rejoining the Rockets was on Brooklyn's radar as much as the looming threat of Philadelphia., one hour before the Sixers played New York on the network's Christmas Day broadcast.
By all accounts, the city of Houston and his foothold in the Rockets organization are something Harden missed the moment he left the franchise. It’s where he morphed from Sixth Man of the Year to Most Valuable Player and one of the most recognizable athletes in America. The Rockets were his franchise and Houston was his domain.
A move to Philadelphia has partnered Harden with one of the game's greatest centers in Joel Embiid, and reunited Harden with his former Rockets lead executive in Daryl Morey. Yet Philadelphia is also not Harden's city. He still routinely finds opportunities to venture out and spend additional time in Houston amid his ongoing Sixers tenure.
