James Harden's New Trade List Revealed
James Harden has finally shown up to the Houston Rockets training camp and the trade noise has not gone away. If anything, it's multiplied immensely.
Reports have surfaced that not only would Harden prefer to be dealt from the Rockets, his wish list has increased from the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets, to include the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks.
Sources: James Harden now has the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat among his preferred trade destinations, along with the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.

Milwaukee would be an interesting landing spot, as the team hasn't been shy making huge moves this offseason. They already shipped out a boat-load for Jrue Holiday, would the team be willing to trade a package including Khris Middleton for Harden?
The 76ers don't seem likely because the team is apparently not willing to include Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid in any trade. The Heat won't be dealing Bam Adebayo anytime soon, and Brooklyn's pieces may not be enough for Houston to budge.
This could get ugly, and even newly minted Rocket, John Wall has changed his stance on Harden's love for Houston.
John Wall on James Harden: "Whatever he’s going through, he’ll get through it and make the decision that’s best for him, and I think the front office will do the same." That's a big step back from Wall previously saying that Harden "for sure" wanted to be in Houston.

One thing we know for sure...Harden has to test negative six days in a row before he is eligible to play. Where he plays, at this point, is anyone's guess.
