NBA trade news: James Harden trade rumours

According to reports from The Athletic, James Harden handed in his trade request to leave the Houston Rockets last month. It is believed that the 31-year-old prefers a move to the Brooklyn Nets and has hopes of forming a 'super team' with Kyrie Irving and former teammate, Kevin Durant. However, unfortunately for Harden, he's not a free agent, so he can't force a move to the Nets at this time.

The Rockets offloaded Russell Westbrook earlier this week and it seems unlikely that they would allow Harden to leave as well with the NBA training camps for the new season less than a week away.
