While Nets star James Harden remains interested in competing for a championship in Brooklyn this season, Harden has also recently informed several confidants of his interest in exploring other opportunities outside of Brooklyn this summer, according to Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer.
Harden, 32, has a player option this summer and could test the free-agent market if he so chooses.
According to Bleacher Report, coach Steve Nash's fluid rotations have disappointed Harden and star guard Kyrie Irving's part-time status due to being unvaccinated has also been a point of frustration.
On Monday, The Athletic's Shams Charania and Sam Amick reported that 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey is believed to prefer pursuing Harden or another star free agent in the offseason, rather than trading Ben Simmons for a lesser package ahead of this February's deadline.
