NBA: 5 storylines to watch during the 2020-21 opening week

NBA storyline: What will happen with James Harden?

As it currently stands, James Harden is a member of the Houston Rockets. Though, I don’t think many people are expecting him to be a member of the team for much longer. The safe bet would be to say that he won’t be on the team beyond the NBA Trade Deadline.

Nevertheless, the start of the season will be especially interesting for the Rockets and Harden. If no deal is agreed upon before the start of the season, look for Harden to potentially make things uncomfortable with the Rockets.

It’s generally an easy route for stars if they want a quicker exit. Based on everything that’s been reported on this front, that could become a reality for James Harden sooner rather than later. Which team will step up? Will there be a mystery team to jump in the sweepstakes?
