A number of trade rumours have surfaced in recent days, especially about the Nets' core backcourt James Harden. Many sources in the league believe that the Nets will put James Harden on the shelves and push with the 76ers for a deal involving Ben Simmons, but according to the US media Sam Amik, Harden seems to have the possibility of returning to the Rockets:
"The Rockets have made it clear to James Harden that if there is such a possibility, they will welcome him back to Houston."
For Harden and the rocket in the reconstruction stage, in fact, the reunion of the two sides is not of great significance, after all, the rocket can not give Harden the championship strength he needs, and the rocket in the reconstruction stage relies on Harden to get out of the reconstruction stage.
With the trade deadline approaching, Rockets veterans Eric Gordon and Christian Wood can be said to be players caught in trade rumors, and for Gordon and Wood, trade rumors are not something they need to pay attention to at the moment:
"I'm not even worried," Gordon said, "as long as I'm playing on the pitch, I can always hear different rumors, I know how much I'm worth, the team knows my worth, I just have to play well." ”
"I try not to think about it," Wood said, "I've seen my name, and I really haven't thought about it too much." ”
For Gordon and Wood, whether the Rockets push for such a deal before the trade deadline, they will continue to perform on the court, and this is indeed the best mentality to deal with trade rumors. So far this season, both Gordon and Wood have been able to perform well enough for the Rockets on the court, and they are also the Rockets' best trading assets before the trade deadline.
