The Houston Rockets are probably feeling pretty good right now. In a recent interview with Jonathan Feigen from the Houston Chronicle, James Harden expressed how happy he was in Houston,
“I’m at a good stage right now. Everything is flowing, everything is what I imagined it would be. My family is great. Friends. Everyone is in a good place right now.
“Obviously, my work place is amazing, the people I’m surrounded with, that I come to work with every day. I’m in a happy place. Fans here in Houston show me so much love and support. Everything is flowing in a positive way right now. I’m all smiles… definitely it’s going to end here.”
Harden becomes a free agent in 2018 so a lot can change between now and then regarding the legitimacy of that statement. It’s good to hear Harden make statements like this, however the Rockets can’t become stagnant and must continue to improve the team in whatever aspect possible. That way Harden knows the Rockets always have winning as a priority. If they dont, although they’ll be able to offer Harden the most money come 2018, we saw what happened with LeBron and Cleveland back in 2010.
With a Dwight Howard finally healthy, newly acquired point guard Ty Lawson ready to go, and Harden ready to follow up his MVP worthy 2014-2015 performance, expect an entertaining season from the Houston Rockets.
