The Houston Rockets still face a potential need to have to trade James Harden. The situation has only worsened as he has created a little bit of off-court controversy. Could the Portland Trail Blazers be a potential option to get a trade done to form an NBA superstar duo with Damian Lillard?
On the latest revision of Harden’s list of preferred destinations, the Trail Blazers were added along with the Boston Celtics. Both teams join the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and Philadelphia 76ers as the NBA superstars list of favorable landing spots.
The Trail Blazers are a team that has put up a good fight at times in the NBA playoffs but haven’t managed to quite breakthrough. It’s clear there is a legitimate ceiling on this group and making a change by trading for a superstar like Harden could get it done.
There are duos like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving with the Brooklyn Nets along with Anthony Davis and LeBron James that are among the NBA’s most dynamic. A combination of Lillard and Harden would be right among those with the caliber of talent they have.
Let’s take a look at a trade centered around James Harden that would send the Houston Rockets superstar to the Portland Trail Blazers.
