Here’s why a James Harden trade could be poison to the NBA, Rockets

Editor's note: James Harden has now clarified that the club he was at was not a strip club.

The Rockets are set to take on the Thunder this Wednesday, but James Harden may not be able to participate due to his appearance in a video at a strip club according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon. The NBA is working to find out when the video was captured and that will determine Harden's availability. This would be a clear violation of the coronavirus protocols if the video is found to be recent.

The Houston Rockets pulled the trigger on a trade with Atlanta before the trade deadline on Thursday.

According to reports, the Rockets are acquiring center Cody Zeller and a second round pick in exchange for the NBA rights to international player Alpha Kaba.

Reports from Yahoo Sports indicate this is basically a salary dump for the Hawks, and Houston is buying back their draft pick.

Hoopshype is reporting that the Rockets will release recently acquired Jaden Springer to make room for Zeller.

Via YardBarker:

The Pelicans re-signed Zeller last summer to use his contract for salary-matching purposes in the Dejounte Murray trade. However, he has yet to play a game for the Hawks in 24-25, having been listed as away from the team for personal reasons for much of the season.

Time will tell if the Rockets decide to release Zeller in the coming days.
