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

-节录翻译有关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.
未曾获得冠军的费城七六人后卫James Harden今年有机会圆梦，毕竟七六人在东区是只强
劲的球队。但同时他未来的去向却是模糊不清的。
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在球季结束后拥有球员选项，传言他将会在下个赛季回到休士顿火箭队。根据火箭
队记者Sam Amick和Kelly Iko的说法，Harden和火箭队互相有意再次合作。
"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选择跳出球员选项的话，火箭队将会全力追求他，而且根据消息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在七六人时常常遭遇伤病的困扰，同时他也不是以前那个顶尖球员了。根据Sean D
eceney的消息，费城可能不会提供Harden很高的薪水来和他续约。
"There are some in that organization who would not mind at all if Harden left,
" one NBA general manager told Deveney.
根据一位NBA球队的总经理的消息：“七六人球团中有些人并不在意哈登在本赛季后离开
球队。”
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.
如果费城七六人今年获得冠军，与其回到舒适圈休士顿火箭队，Harden更可能选择留下来
挑战二连霸。
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.
如果最终没能在费城夺冠，球队和Harden恐怕就不会签下新的长约。如果下个赛季Harden
想追求长期的顶薪合约，那他更可能在本赛季后和其他球队签约。
