NBA: 3 teams who should trade for James Harden if Rockets trade him

Is it time for a change of scenery for James Harden?

If you are James Harden, you must be frustrated as ever right now. You bust your butt all season long, play at an NBA MVP caliber level all season only to go crashing out of the playoffs once again.

Life could be better for the “Beard.”

The blame isn’t on his shoulders this year, he worked hard and was just beaten by a Los Angeles Lakers team who knew how to limit him and force the ball into his teammate’s hands and force them to make plays.

When your teammates aren’t at your level, it is going to make it hard to win and the 4-1 loss outlined that very clearly.

So if you are James Harden, what do you do next?

Houston, with all due respect, has shown that they cannot put a winner around him. They have tried hard, we cannot discount that but at the end of the day, it just isn’t working.

The Thunder couldn’t get it done with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, and James Harden.

Is Harden the problem? No, he has been beaten by some historically good teams over the years, in the Golden State Warriors and the Miami Heat but it is time for Harden to potentially call it a day with the Houston Rockets and look to pastures anew.

With all this being said, here are three teams that James Harden could look to be traded to this coming offseason.
