The Rockets' Interest in Fred Van Vliet

Harden was trying to create leverage for himself at Christmas, which I guess should have been a sign that he didn't have any. He played just as bad if not worse in the playoffs. There's a lot unknown there where it's like, was the first deal him taking less in order to bring people in or was that more he playing hardball? We've never gotten their reporting there,. But I think there's as much credence to both sides of that in the same way that Like, I think the Rockets were interested when it came down to it and then maybe got talked out of it.
