The Raptors have now been officially linked to the James Harden sweepstakes.
According to a report from Marc Stein of the New York Times, Toronto is one of the teams to have had an “exploratory” conversation with the Houston Rockets about their disgruntled superstar. This shouldn’t come as any surprise. It’s likely that two-thirds of the league have made a call to Rockets GM Rafael Stone to at least gauge the temperature in the room. If Raptors GM Bobby Webster hasn’t made a phone call or two on Harden he wouldn’t be doing his job.
