Ready to leave the 76ers for many weeks, James Harden is not causing the frenzy he hoped for in the NBA. Candidates for his arrival are extremely rare, while a top team looking for a leader would not even consider his profile.
The more the years pass, the more his trade requests fall into indifference. Unlike his departure from the Rockets in 2020, James Harden is struggling to attract the attention of other teams at the moment. However, it is not for lack of regularly reminding us of our transfer desires, as has been the case once again. the case in a nightclub in Miami recently. Which makes you wonder if he will win his case.
Harden sharply failed by a title contender
Given the time it took for his series to experience even a meager evolution, Harden could consider reversing his decision to pack up. However, it seems on the contrary determined to go all the way to join a new franchise. The recent resolution of the Damian Lillard case could have helped him in his approach, which would not really be the case according to Zach Lowe ofESPN :
Miami has so far only expressed limited interest in James Harden as a consolation prize after the failure in the Lillard case. But what about (Jrue) Holiday? As Brian Windhorst points out, expect Holiday and the Blazers to have several trade options — which could potentially include Miami, Philadelphia and the Clippers.
You will have noticed, the Sixers are one of the teams announced potentially interested in the services of Jrue Holiday. Harden could therefore possibly bounce back in Portland, which is not necessarily something to appeal to him. Regardless, several other tempting exit doors, including those represented by the Clippers and the Heat, threaten to close in front of him in the days to come.
If he still makes the one leading him to Los Angeles his priority, the 2018 MVP would undoubtedly also welcome an arrival in Miami, whose nightlife seems to please him. However, the information reported in the columns of the Miami Herald are even more categorical than those of Lowe on this possibility:

According to the Miami Herald, Miami shows no interest in James Harden.
Although disappointed and possibly desperate after the end of the Damian Lillard track, the Heat would not even make James Harden a possible alternative to the point guard position. A clear witness to the dizzying fall in the Bearded’s market value in the NBA.
