TRADE EXPLANATION:

Houston could offer Josh Christofer and their 2023 FRP potentialy Brandon Miller (ESPN) or Ausar Thompson (Fanspo Consensus) for James Harden (only if he asks for the trade). James has left the door open to a possible return to Houston in several interviews and this will be the perfect trade for James and for Philie (thinking in the future) having a 4th draft pick for having very good rookies that can help Joel Embiid Tobias Harris and P.J Tucker in the season
