Oh ! This is the beautiful rumor of Monday morning. According to Marc Stein, the Rockets could be interested in Kyrie Irving this summer, if ever the James Harden plan fails. With around $60 million in salary to hand out this summer, the franchise will no doubt attempt a push with the promise of a big contract.
Kyrie Irving in Houston, it wouldn’t be that impossible. In full reflection on his future on the side of Dallas, the leader would be one of the potential targets of Houston, if ever the Rockets failed to recruit James Harden this summer. Main advantage of the Rockets? A big, big check to give, since the franchise has, at the dawn of summer, the largest payroll available in the NBA. We are talking about $60 million.
Rockets Could Pursue Kyrie Irving If They Don’t Sign James Harden

The James Harden track remains the priority. We are not drawing you a picture, but Ramesse is very strongly linked to Houston. A personality who has brought a lot to the franchise, which represents the franchise in the imagination of many fans. Bringing him back to the fold would be a fantastic operation, but several elements can slow down this process. First, the appointment of Nick Nurse in Philadelphia. The new Sixers coach is definitely a better tactician than Doc Rivers, and that may motivate the Barbu to stay another year in Pennsylvania.
Second argument? Undoubtedly the most important. James Harden is 33 years old. Let’s start from the premise that if he joins the Rockets this summer, the team will only be ready within two years, young people in training oblige. This will make it nearly 35 banks. At the Sixers, everything is already ready to go to the end, he even plays with the regular season MVP. If he wants to have a clear title opportunity, it’s in Philly that it will happen next year.
Elements that make the management of H-Town prepare a plan B, in the person of Kyrie Irving? Yes, according to Marc Stein, who indicates that the franchise potentially wants to take advantage of the Mavericks’ difficult end to the season to offer a big ticket to Kyrie, as well as the status of undisputed leader. This will go through a failure of the Harden plan, but the advantage of being able to give a large wad will necessarily come into consideration for the Irving clan, who – as a reminder – left Brooklyn precisely because of the Nets’ indecision concerning a new juicy contract. .
Other teams will certainly try to test the waters to recover Uncle Drew, so the Rockets have every interest in getting an answer from James Harden quickly so as not to waste time in the event of failure.
