James Harden extended his contract with Houston Rockets 4 more years. That's wise decision for both parties.
Golden State signed another veteran All-Star player David West for 1 year. They need to find a center after Festus Ezeli's departure.

Good for Harden, might as well get that money as this team is not going anywhere. I may not he the biggest fan of Harden but I am glad he's sticking with the Rockets. Even though there is evidence highly suggesting the opposite, I think Houston will figure this out.

Harden should be good in rockets, he is the face of the franchise now as he is very entertaining to watch although not really legitimate IMO. Rockets could be a good team if harden will be partnered with a legitimate point guard.

Harden has holes in his game, big holes but he's also an unstoppable scorer and has shown good enough to lead a team to the playoffs. From an ownership standpoint that's something you don't want to lose. What Houston needs to do is focus on finding him a running mate that actually compliments his style of play.

He is just a good scorer but in order to be a great player you need to have a good defense of which harden lacks, that is the main reason why they were dominated by the warriors even without curry on the game last playoffs.

Or Houston can surround Harden with good defenders so they can cover Harden's lapses in the defensive side of things. Both Love and Irving are known to have lackluster defense but they were covered by help defenses.

They need someone to back up harden because harden is no lebron caliber, he cannot be productive when double team is on him. He is only good in regular season but in playoffs its a different thing.

I'm not a huge Harden fan but you have to give the guy a lot of credit for carrying that team to some pretty exceptional heights given that he's been working hard for the team. Harden is 27 at the start of the season. He's likely still within his prime at the end of this contract. They have time to build around him.

yes it's team mate who can build harden to be able to make it to the finals, he needs defensive team mates to covered his weak point.
he can deliver and he can always have good shooting capability.
