With Houston preparing to make an aggressive push to sign James Harden this summer, rival NBA executives believe this pick will be used as trade bait as the Rockets look to take a significant step forward next season. […] Whether Houston keeps the pick for itself or uses it in trade talks to acquire a proven star, the best available talent is likely Amen or Ausar Thompson.

Victor to Houston has to make a more enticing landing spot for Harden…. And Woj doesn’t think landing VW would change their Beard plans. So if you want Harden in Philly I think you’d like to see Vic land “safely” in San Antonio or s/t. – 7:50 PM

Harden sounds like he wants a change to a coach who’d diversify the offensive attack a bit more.
I ranked the Sixers top candidates. Thoughts?

If the Sixers’ spot does ultimately go to MDA, I’m more interested in what he can scheme up to get Tyrese Maxey to take a jump than I am in seeing whether he can elevate Harden back to his former glory (he doesn’t have a Delorean, that I’m aware of). – 2:14 PM

Writing was on the wall for Doc Rivers after James Harden’s lukewarm endorsement following Sunday’s season ending loss. There’s a strong field of available coaches but the Sixers will have competition for them. – 11:32 AM

Another uncertain offseason awaits for the Sixers, and at least to start, James Harden and Doc Rivers are at the center of it.

More on this storyline
Executives and agents in Chicago are buzzing about the future of the Philadelphia 76ers. The team’s firing of Doc Rivers Tuesday morning had several league sources in Chicago cautioning that James Harden’s much-rumored interest in returning to the Houston Rockets may not be such a shoo-in with Rivers gone in Philly. (To be clear, Harden and the Rockets remain very much interested in the concept of a reunion, sources said.) -via ESPN / May 17, 2023
How does Houston losing out on Wembanyama and falling to No. 4 impact their potential pursuit of Harden? Winning the lottery would have reoriented the entire franchise around Wembanyama — perhaps reducing their interest in Harden. Does dropping to No. 4 enflame it? Time will tell. Remember: Houston owes a top-4 protected first-round pick next season to the Oklahoma City Thunder, so they have some incentive to improve fast. -via ESPN / May 17, 2023
“I don’t know what Harden is going to do,” said Zach Lowe on his podcast. “God only knows. I don’t know what the hell James Harden is going to do. “The Rockets think he’s coming, but go on,” replied Tim MacMahon. “I know the Rockets think he’s coming,” said Lowe. -via RealGM / May 16, 2023
