ESPN’s pundit Kendrick Perkins made a bold statement about the offseason transfer activities, suggesting that the Lakers may be interested in James Harden.<\/p>\n
The veteran guard is currently in his final year with the Philadelphia 76ers and may opt to switch teams as a free agent.<\/p>\n
If it were to happen, it will mean that Harden will return to his native Los Angeles, where he attended Artesia High School in Lakewood.<\/p>\n
If Harden opt to stay with the Sixers he will receive $35.6 million, but many believe he will chose to leave instead.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old’s future has been a hot topic throughout the regular season with rumors linking him with a return to the Rockets. However, Perkins implied that a move to Lakers will be his best chance towards winning a title.<\/p>\n
Harden enjoyed a decent season with Philadelphia, averaging 21 points, 10.7 assists and 6.1 rebounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
