An ESPN report last week indicated James Harden has interest in returning to the Houston Rockets this offseason as a free agent depending on how the next few months plays out with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Harden was also a free agent last offseason and signed a two-year, $68.6 million deal with the Sixers that contains a player option for 23-24.
At the age of 33, Harden could continue signing shorter term deals in order to maintain flexibility.
“There are a lot of whispers around the league that he wants to continue cycling through one-plus-one kind of deals,” said Zach Lowe.
