James Harden of the Brooklyn Nets is the hottest name in basketball as the NBA trade deadline approaches. Many rumors have arisen claiming that James Harden is interested in joining the Philadelphia 76ers, while some claim that the Nets have no plans to move him.

Harden will miss his fourth straight game on Thursday against the Washington Wizards due to left hamstring strain, according to Marc Stein.

This is a fascinating situation due to the possibility of James Harden being moved. Many people believe that the Nets are holding him out because he is going to be moved, while other sources claim that they are holding him out just to be safe after all of the injuries that they have already dealt with this season.

It will be intriguing to watch what the Nets do, and any decision they make must be wise. If Kyrie Irving had been vaccinated, this might have been a lot easier for them, but unfortunately for them, it doesn't appear like he will be getting the vaccination anytime soon.

When completely healthy, Brooklyn is a squad capable of winning an NBA championship. Unfortunately for them, they haven't been playing particularly well of late, which is due to the fact that they haven't had Kevin Durant for the previous ten games.

In any case, if Brooklyn chooses to move James Harden, they'll have to make a sensible selection, or they won't win the NBA title that everyone anticipated them to win heading into the season.
