​James Harden insists he wants out of Houston, the Rockets are asking for a haul to aid in what many consider to be an impending rebuild. 
Thus far only a handful of teams seem to have strong interest all are on Harden's trade list. 
The Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks are the most engaged suitors.

A trusted league source has confirmed to us the Bucks are making a push to land Harden via trade. A package of Brook Lopez, Donte Divencenzo and two 2nd round picks being discussed. The Rockets don't feel that is enough so the Bucks are shopping Khris Middleton in an attempt to garner additional assets from a 3rd team for him.

At the moment we aren't there yet. We have been told that if the 76ers would part with Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid Harden would have been a 76er already but thus far neither has been offered in trade talks.  The Heat aren't offering Tyler Herro or Bam Adebayo creating a window of opportunity for the Bucks to potentially Trade for James Harden and convince Giannis to stay. More to come as we receive updates.

Update: The Nuggets and Raptors are both making a push to trade for James Harden we have been told  Michael Porter Jr and Jamal Murray are on the table in trade talks.
