Paul George Reacts to James Harden to Houston Rockets Rumors
In this story:
There have been several reports about James Harden leaving the Philadelphia 76ers and returning to the Houston Rockets this summer. Harden spent nine seasons of his career in Houston, breaking several records and winning an MVP award in 2018. If Harden were to return to Houston, he would be joining a team that looks much different than the one he left.
Loaded with young players, the Rockets are in a much different spot than they were just a few seasons ago. Led by young guard Jalen Green, Houston is amidst a rebuild; however, the addition of Harden would certainly elevate their record from where it's been the last two seasons.
LA Clippers star Paul George recently had Jalen Green on Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment, and spoke about the pros and cons of Houston bringing in Harden this summer.
"I feel like at this point, you're the king of Houston," George said to Green. "You gotta go through this. You gotta go through being double-teamed, being triple-teamed, being the target every time. You gotta go through that. And you bring on someone like James who is such a ball-dominant player, that's gonna hinder your growth a little bit."
George added that it could help Green as well, being able to learn under Harden, and the young guard agreed that there would be positive and negative effects of the potential move.
