James Harden informed his thoughts about the signing of the richest NBA contract ever: “Everything will happen here in Houston, and that's the reason why I'm here forever.”

James Harden's marriage to the Houston Rockets was a hit success. Most offensive tasks “The Bartes' ability to achieve the ball was unprecedented, together with his clever ball handling and his legendary stepping jumper.

The Oklahoma City Thunder exchanged resins in 2012 after failed contract negotiations. The former 6th Moy marked a fresh start and in his debut season with the Texas franchise was now a reinforced role that made all-star and all-NBA teams.

In the following years, Harden was regularly seen in the MVP conversation before it won in 2018. On the offensive, the 6'5 “security guard was crowned for three consecutive years. He had a strong relationship with the front office, which rewarded him with the then richest contract in NBA history.

“I know where is at home, I know where I want to be. I know where I would ultimately retire and where I want to win a championship. Here in Houston everything will happen, and that's the reason why I'm here forever.” said James, who finally pushed himself out of the way in 2021.

Dreams of winning a championship for the Rockets

The Rockets made the playoffs of Harden with the franchise company in all nine years, but could not make it beyond the WCF. “The Beard” sang a six-year extension worth $ 228 million before the 2017/18 season and had directed the eyes of the Larry O'Brien trophy.

“I worked extremely hard. Thanks to Leslie Alexander (ex-Rockets owner), who gave me this opportunity, it doesn't really mean anything without keeping up this championship. We are working on that. So I am in the gym every day and I won't stop until I get it.” said the 75 -year -old team member of the NBA.

Unfortunately, the Rockets could not replicate their success in the playoffs, whereby harden was also largely responsible. The three -time goal did not meet expectations in the post -season, and his numbers decreased, especially in coupling situations.

Force oneself out of Houston

The Rockets Front Office did everything in its ability to harden all the help he needed, regardless of whether it was pursuing Dwight Howard or acted for Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook. Unfortunately, none of the electricity movements provided results.

Nevertheless, in view of his mediocre playoff appearances, harden also earned the fault. During his term in Houston, the former MVP appeared in three games to 35.9 percent, including 17.2 percent from the 3-point line and an average of 5.3 sales.

After a semi-finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2020 bladder, the harmful guard called for a trade. What followed were Defiance files of the experienced security guard, who appeared out of shape during the training camp and reported late about training sessions.

Harden's reluctance to work out things was visible in his poor approach to start the season. “The Bart” was traded on the nets in 2021 and found a new purpose to play together with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, but fate had different plans when he continued to juggle teams before landing Los Angeles Clipper in 2023. Nevertheless, the only thing that continues to drift him is the search for this diluted ring to finally get his career.
