Dwight Howard and James Harden
The Philadelphia 76ers, made a strong playoff run this season, could be facing a potential loss in the upcoming free agency period. Reports have surfaced suggesting that star guard James Harden may be considering a reunion with his former team, the Houston Rockets. NBA veteran Dwight Howard has taken a humorous approach to the situation, suggesting that Harden should consider joining him in Taiwan.
During a recent interview with FanDuel TV, Howard expressed his belief that Harden and Sixers center Joel Embiid would have formed a formidable duo on the court. However, he playfully urged Harden to consider joining him in Taiwan instead.
Howard, who has been enjoying his time playing in Taiwan, has gained significant popularity and has become one of the country’s biggest basketball stars. The NBA veteran seems happy with his decision to pursue his career outside the Association, indicating that he has no interest in returning to the NBA.
As for Harden, his future remains uncertain. The Sixers’ President of Basketball Operations, Daryl Morey, is determined to retain the star point guard. However, there are rumors suggesting that Harden played a role in the dismissal of former Sixers coach Doc Rivers, leading some to speculate on his intentions.
Philadelphia 76ers’ strategies in the event of Harden’s departure
If James Harden were to leave the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency, it would undoubtedly be a significant blow to the team’s aspirations for the upcoming season. Harden’s arrival in Philadelphia was met with high expectations, as the team hoped to build a championship-caliber roster around the dynamic duo of Harden and Embiid.
However, in the event of Harden’s departure, the Sixers’ front office would be forced to explore alternative options to maintain their competitiveness. The team’s management, led by Daryl Morey, is known for their sharp decision-making and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
While the loss of Harden would create a void in the backcourt, the Sixers still possess a strong supporting cast, including players like Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, and P.J. Tucker. Additionally, the team has shown a commitment to building a winning culture and could potentially attract other star players to fill the void left by Harden.
Dwight Howard’s suggestion for Harden to consider Taiwan, although playful, highlights the fact that lucrative basketball opportunities exist outside the NBA. However, it is highly unlikely that a player of Harden’s caliber would pursue such an option at this stage in his career.
