Harden's net is broken, how far is the Green Raptors from the first guard?

At present, the media also broke the news that Harden is expected to be traded before the game begins. The most likely teams are Heat, Nets, Raptors and Celtics.

In recent seasons, the most stormy team must be the Rockets. Although it has maintained a strong competitiveness in recent seasons, it has never been able to get its hands on the championship. Last year, the Rockets traded Paul for Shao Wei, once Harden's good brother, and once again joined forces to attack the championship. The result was easily defeated by the Lakers, and the Rockets bid farewell to the championship stage.

With the exchange of Shao Wei and Wald, basically, even if Cousins and others are introduced this season, the Rockets are not very competitive. Therefore, the boss Harden made it clear that he would leave the team and apply for a deal to compete for the championship. However, although Harden is the first guard in the league, it seems that the team interested in Harden is not going to make too much sacrifice to trade Harden.

Although the Nets have always wanted to form a super backcourt combination of Owen+Harden+Durant, they are not willing to release too many high-quality resources and first-round draft picks for Harden. Similar to the Nets, the Heat are unwilling to pay Butler and Adebayor. The rest of the players are not attractive to the Rockets. Even if the Rockets want to trade Harden, they have to get enough chips to impress people. These two teams can only say too much, and it is too difficult to get Harden unless they are willing to break the existing lineup and trade Harden.

In addition to the Heat and the Nets, the Raptors and Celtics are more hopeful; The Raptors are willing to pay Siakam+ draft pick, which is very tempting for the Rockets. Although Siakam didn't play well in the playoffs last season, as an all-star player who averaged 22.9 points +7.3 rebounds +3.5 assists per game, his fighting capacity and potential to be tapped, plus the first round draft pick in the future, were enough to impress the Rockets. The only problem is that the Raptors' backcourt, Lori and Van Jordan, have basically met the demand.

Celtic, as an old and strong team in the east, has enough strength to take charge of young talents like Tatum, Brown and Smart. Now the Celtics just need a superstar who can partner with Tatum to control the overall situation. Therefore, the combination of Walker+Harden+Tatum is equally strong by trading Brown+draft pick or other players for Harden, and the Celtics' lineup is younger, more energetic and has stronger potential, and Harden's persistent championship goal is also stronger.

There is not much time before the start of the regular season, and Harden will have the answer soon. After all, for the rockets, it's just a measure of the chips that Harden got, and Harden has made up his mind and his fate is over.
