Eliminate! Which team will Harden s next stop be?

The Clippers of the 2024-2025 season have officially come to an end. Where will Harden's next stop be a topic of discussion among fans. Harden, who has played the second spring of his career this season, can average 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game.

Celtics/Nuggets: Increase the firepower of the second team as a substitute point guard or sixth man role.

Third, the possibility of returning to the Rockets (retirement tour): If Van Vreet is cut next season, the Rockets may provide Harden with a short-term contract out of business and sentimental considerations, allowing him to end his career as a "Rockets celebrity". But the current obstacle is that the growth of the Rockets' young core (such as Shin Kyung and Green) may not require Harden to occupy the ball.
