Harden to stay the latest development: next 2 pick 1? Famous news: 21+10 superstars are in a dilemma

Should he stay with the Philadelphia 76ers to continue to partner with Embiid, or go straight back to the Rockets to get a lucrative and long "pension contract"? It's the choice James Harden, the 76ers' star point guard this summer, will face. For Harden, going straight back to the Rockets also means that there is a good chance that there will be no championship ring to take in his career, but fortunately he still has a big contract to take. According to analysis, Harden can not only get a long-term contract with a top salary in the Rockets, but even have the opportunity to become the "first core" of the Rockets.

As Harden himself said, his selection conditions for the next home in the future are that the team must be competitive, and the other is that Harden can be himself. What is it to be yourself? To put it bluntly, it is to regain the feeling of "rocket boarding" back then. In the Rockets that year, Harden was the big boss of the team, even the arrival of Paul and Westbrook could not shake Harden's tactical position. Harden was on the Rockets at that time, not only had unlimited firing rights, but also the right to make free decisions on the court. That's why the Rockets had a great record in those years.

However, in the 76ers, although there is an MVP center like Embiid to mate, Harden is only the team's second offensive choice. This season, Harden averaged 21 points, 6.1 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game during the regular season. Today, Harden doesn't know whether to stay in Philadelphia or return to his favorite team, the Houston Rockets.

NBA celebrity Shams also openly talked about Harden's "going and staying" in a show. Shams said he thinks Harden is "torn between staying with the 76ers or going to the Rockets!" Harden really struggled. This is also a normal phenomenon.

In fact, Harden also knows that he went to the Rockets, although he has a supreme tactical position and a big contract to take, and will win the goodwill of countless fans, but back to the Rockets, with his current ability and the strength of the Rockets' roster, he will bring the Rockets to the playoffs at most. Especially in the absence of another superstar, single-core Harden plus young players such as Shenjing and Jaylen Green, maybe the playoffs are hanging. After all, Harden is no longer the omnipotent Rockets super scorer he was a few years ago.

Stay with the 76ers and maybe have a big contract available, but he'll still be in Embiid's shadow next season and won't be able to become Philadelphia's No. 1 core. What's more troublesome is that Embiid's style of play in the regular season is remarkable, and when it comes to the intensity of the playoffs, Embiid's style of play that likes to float outside and shoot can't make the 76ers go further, let alone defeat the Eastern Conference powers to reach the Finals and eventually win the championship.

Therefore, Dengo's next home is the 76ers or Rockets 2 to choose 1, but it will probably take a long time before Harden really makes a decision, and the entangled Harden must consider comprehensively before giving the final answer.
