Rafael Stone: “We really wanted to add veteran players who still fit our timeline and knew how to win. And we think we accomplish that.”
The “timeline” part of this quote is interesting to me because it clearly alludes to choosing FVV over Harden.

ICYMI yesterday:
The @HoustonRockets had interest in reuniting with James Harden, but sources say new coach Ime Udoka stepped in and altered the club’s course.
Some pros and cons on Harden, but NBA execs see FA signee Fred VanVleet as better fit.

Wait until the “Chet is too skinny” crowd finds out these All-NBA bigs they keep referencing who’ll eat him inside (Jokic, Embiid, AD, etc) shoot roughly 2/3 of their shots 3+ feet from the basket – 2:39 PM

Rockets announce that Jeff Green has signed. The announcement notes that he has played with eight players — Durant, Garnett, Harden, James, O’Neal, Rose, Westbrook, Jokic — who have been MVP. It does not say who will be next. – 1:09 PM

The @HoustonRockets were planning to pursue James Harden this summer but changed their stance. Why? Well, Ime Udoka happened.
‘Ime said ‘It’s not going to work here.”

More on this storyline
But you should probably hold that thought — according to sources familiar with the situation, the Sixers and Bulls (as Johnson alludes to in his story) only really had check-in convos prior to the draft, with nothing evolving beyond that point. While this could change , the two teams have not been engaged in active dialogue, so any kind of multi-team deal involving LaVine and/or Harden would need some major work done to get close to completion. -via Philly Voice / July 7, 2023
The LaVine trade chatter isn’t going away. In fact, league sources said that Zach LaVine has landed in preliminary conversations with both the Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers, who are working with James Harden and Damian Lillard, respectively, to find them new homes. -via NBC Sports Chicago / July 7, 2023
But maybe James Harden could give the club an offensive jolt that would make the kids develop in a more competitive situation on a nightly basis. However, while Harden is an expert at getting to the hoop, he couldn’t drive past Udoka. “From everything we’ve gotten out of there, it was a matter that Ime didn’t want him,” one league source told Heavy Sports. “At the beginning, were they thinking about Harden? Yeah. But then they hired Ime, and Ime said, ‘It’s not going to work here.’” -via Heavy.com / July 7, 2023

While there is speculation about what the departure of Harden, on the heels of the firing of coach Doc Rivers, means for Embiid’s future in Philly, executives around the NBA don’t think it will lead to an Embiid exodus. “No, just no way,” one GM said flatly when asked about Embiid asking out. “He is a different kind of character. He is a lot more like (Damian) Lillard and (Bradley) Beal because he wants to be loyal to the team, he wants to stay there, he has a lot of appreciation for how he has been treated there. Now, his contract is up in (2026) so that’s three years. It’s tough, the position he is in. If we’re still talking about this in three years, you’d expect the story to change by then.” -via Heavy.com / July 3, 2023
