$210 million, 76 people don't give! The Rockets made another humiliating offer, and the season's poorest star appeared

Where is Harden going to play next season? It has now become a farce, and even, for Harden's next conjecture, it is now basically the 76ers and the Rockets. However, the Rockets now know that it is still very difficult for them to get Harden in the current situation, but in order to be able to strengthen their roster in the offseason, the Rockets have also launched an alternative plan, that is, to invite Kyrie Irving to join here. Many people also wonder why the Rockets wanted to bring in Harden in the first place, but now they suddenly have the intention of giving up?

The main reason is that after the team's management communicated with Harden, there are now a lot of irreconcilable situations between the two sides, and Harden himself has made a lot of demands. If he's going back to the Rockets, then the team's management has to do something this summer to at least give him hope and possibility of competing for a championship. But Rockets management is reluctant to do so, arguing that doing so would be tantamount to forfeiting the team's future. They hope that Harden will lead the team's youngsters to the playoffs. Of course, if he still chooses to come to the Rockets, he will lose at least $60 million in salary. As things stand, Harden won't make such a choice, after all, under the new collective bargain, many stars will earn $50 million a year in the next few years.

Harden also knows that his career time is running out, and he hopes to earn as much money as possible in the coming period to protect his retirement life from any impact. Although Harden is temporarily unable to come to the Rockets, for the 76ers, they now have big questions about whether to overdraft the future of the team to bring in Harden. But there's no denying that Harden has given up his core position to Embiid during his time playing for the 76ers, and he doesn't care about his average per game, which allows him to play better on the court, after all, he believes that winning a championship is the most important. At the same time, the team has already won the top three positions in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, and they first defeated the Nets in the playoffs, and in the semifinals against the Celtics, the 76ers also showed unprecedented tenacity, originally they had a 3-2 lead, but did not expect that the 76ers lost consecutive games in the last two games, allowing the Celtics to complete the headwind turnaround, and finally meet the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Of course, many fans believe that Harden's sluggish performance in these two games has a lot to do with the team's elimination, and now they think that if the 76ers want to give Harden a top salary, it is obviously not appropriate, which is the main reason why the 76ers have not completed the contract extension with Harden. As for why he didn't go to the Rockets, Harden just doesn't want to play with young people all day, after all, their growth rate is indeed a little too slow, if Harden wants to count on winning a championship with the Rockets, then it is basically unlikely, so the battle for Harden this summer is bound to be very fierce.
