Fertitta has long prepared a maximum salary contract for Harden, Stone will be around him to recruit, Uduka designs tactics for him, and his return to the Rockets is only waiting for the official announcement?
NO，NO，NO，NO！ Fagan and many other Houston reporters bluntly said that $200 million in 4 years is too expensive, and Harden is not worth so much money.
By the start of the 2023-2024 season, Harden will be 34 years old, and he is a person who likes to enjoy life and likes to visit nightclubs. Such Harden can remain in form for three to four years, and many people say they don't believe it.
GRANDSTAND REPORTER GREG SWARTZ BLUNTLY POINTED OUT THAT IF THE ROCKETS GIVE HARDEN $200 MILLION, ANOTHER CONTRACT WOULD BE ADDED TO THE WORST CONTRACT IN NBA HISTORY.
The US media "Fansided" believes that the Rockets may only be willing to provide Harden with a non-top salary contract of no more than 3 years.
General manager Stone said frankly that the ultimate goal of the Rockets is the NBA championship, and he must always make the right decision in the process of rebuilding, one wrong step, one wrong step, one wrong step will lose all over the game, and he must not rush to the hospital.
The rocket has a huge salary space and is not afraid that no one will come. Harden must not give a long-term contract top salary when he is old, it is better to sign VanVleet, and some fans have given such advice.
NBA Analyst Network has revealed that 29-year-old champion guard Fred VanVleet may be interested in joining the Rockets.
It is worth mentioning that VanVleet recently followed Rocket Assistant Coach Lucas Sr. on social media.
VanVleet is younger than Harden and $70 million cheaper than Harden, and his request is $130 million over 4 years.
Former Rockets coach Sellars admired VanVleet very much, saying the small guard had a lot of energy and was a model for losing the draft. Silas likes to develop undrafted talents, but unfortunately he doesn't have talent like VanVleet.
Nick Nas, who had an affair with the Rockets, also praised VanVleet for having a big heart and being a leader.
VanVleet, who is 1.85 meters tall, averaged 19.3 points, 7.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 2 turnovers in 37 minutes per game this season, shooting 39% from the field, 34% from three-point range and 90% from the free throw line.
Some Rockets fans questioned Van Jordan when he shot less than 40 percent from the field and looked bad defensively.
The Raptors are averaging just 10.7 three-pointers per game this season, while the Rockets are averaging 10.4 three-pointers per game.
The Raptors lack consistent three-point shooters to open up space for Van Jordan, and he's a bit difficult.
The same is true for Jaylen Green, whose lack of teammates who can open up space for himself affects the efficiency of the breakthrough. Former Rockets coach Serra has admits that if the Rockets match Green with some good pitchers, his offensive efficiency can be greatly improved.
Van Jordan is averaging three three-pointers per game this season, a number in the top 10 in the league, and he's the pitcher the Rockets desperately need.
Van Jordan's defense is actually underestimated, and he will judge the opponent's passing route for steals.
ESPN reporter Jorge Sedano said on the podcast that VanVleet doesn't need a lot of ball, he's hard as a nail, has championship pedigree, he's a good goalscorer, he's tough despite his small stature, and his defense is much better than Irving's. He suggested the Lakers sign VanVleet.
Famous McMahon said VanVleet won't be short of suitors, and the Magic, which has salary space this summer, is interested in him.
