Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta expressed support for James Harden and Russell Westbrook, stating that the Rockets would be best suited to simply run it back.
It’s been announced that the Houston Rockets will not trade Russell Westbrook or James Harden, as Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta believes the team’s championship window remains wide open. Fertitta’s confirmation means the trade rumors for the high-scoring duo of Harden and Westbrook should be nonexistent, for now.
The trade speculation began after the Rockets’ season ended against the Los Angeles Lakers, who dismantled the Rockets within five games, en route to winning the 2020 NBA championship.
