''2023 NBA Free Agents: Latest Rumors, Predictions for Kyrie Irving, James Har
den, More''

by Kristopher Knox (Bleacher Report)

-節錄翻譯有關James Harden部分-

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jame Harden is a 10-time All-Star who has never won a
n NBA title. He might have a realistic shot this year, as the 76ers are in con
tention in the East. His future beyond this year, though, is a bit cloudy.

未曾獲得冠軍的費城七六人後衛James Harden今年有機會圓夢，畢竟七六人在東區是隻強
勁的球隊。但同時他未來的去向卻是模糊不清的。

Harden has a player option, and there's been some buzz about him leaving to re
turn to the Houston Rockets. According to Sam Amick and Kelly Iko of The Athle
tic, both Harden and Houston are interested in a reunion:

Harden在球季結束後擁有球員選項，傳言他將會在下個賽季回到休士頓火箭隊。根據火箭
隊記者Sam Amick和Kelly Iko的說法，Harden和火箭隊互相有意再次合作。

"Houston is widely expected to pursue the 13-year veteran point guard if, as i
s expected, he declines his player option for the 2023-24 season. And even mor
e surprisingly, sources with knowledge of Harden's outlook say he's as serious
 about a possible return now as he was when he left town."

「如果Harden選擇跳出球員選項的話，火箭隊將會全力追求他，而且根據消息Harden也有
意回到火箭。」

While Harden has been a fine addition to the Sixers, he has struggled to stay
healthy and isn't the same elite player he once was. According to Sean Deveney
 of Heavy, Philadelphia may not make a strong effort to retain him.

Harden在七六人時常常遭遇傷病的困擾，同時他也不是以前那個頂尖球員了。根據Sean D
eceney的消息，費城可能不會提供Harden很高的薪水來和他續約。

"There are some in that organization who would not mind at all if Harden left,
" one NBA general manager told Deveney.

根據一位NBA球隊的總經理的消息：「七六人球團中有些人並不在意哈登在本賽季後離開
球隊。」

A lot could hinge on how the Sixers fare in the postseason this year. If Harde
n finally wins his championship, he may be more than comfortable returning to
Houston and forgoing another chance to chase a ring.

如果費城七六人今年獲得冠軍，與其回到舒適圈休士頓火箭隊，Harden更可能選擇留下來
挑戰二連霸。

Even if the 76ers don't win it all, it doesn't sound as if Harden is in line f
or a lengthy extension in Philadelphia. If Harden is looking for a long-term m
ax deal, he'll likely end up signing elsewhere.

如果最終沒能在費城奪冠，球隊和Harden恐怕就不會簽下新的長約。如果下個賽季Harden
想追求長期的頂薪合約，那他更可能在本賽季後和其他球隊簽約。
