At what length would the Boston Celtics go to trade for superstar James Harden from the Houston Rockets? That is a question that has not been answered just yet as Harden remains in Houston with the NBA regular season beginning.
Harden has been one of the biggest names on the trading block this offseason. The Rockets are set to reshape their franchise and it began when they sent Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards. This puts them in a position to completely re-tool the team around John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins.
The Celtics are an intriguing team to look at in a trade with Harden. Boston has a legitimate contending roster but doesn’t have quite enough firepower to win-it-all. These two have not been linked together recently but anything is possible moving forward.
The Celtics would have to give up a lot to acquire Harden so it all comes down to what the front office believes is the best move for the future. Harden has been linked to teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers but Boston could be the surprise team of the offseason.
If the Celtics do indeed make a move for Harden, it would be the surprise move the offseason. Let’s take a look at what it might take to get this deal done.
