James Harden Wanted Houston Reunion, Rockets Showed No Interest

Harden's representatives gauged which teams might be interested, while Harden was interested in reuniting with the Rockets, sources tell Ramona Shelburne. The fit was natural with Fred Van Vleet tearing his ACL before the season. "But the Rockets showed little interest in their former MVP," Shelburne reported. Harden forced Houston to trade him back in 2021.
