The 10-time All-Star wants to sign a four-year deal with a team that has a “competitive lineup”. Harden, 33, is averaging 21 points, 10.7 assists and 6.1 rebounds in 58 games in 2022-23.
There is talk that Harden could return to the Houston Rockets. Philadelphia lost Game 7 to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals and fired coach Doc Rivers.
