James Harden wants to be a sun in 2013?

Former Arizona State Star James Harden will be a free agent in 2013. This means that other teams are going to offer him max offers and the Thunder who he plays for right now can't do that because they already have 3 stars Westbrook,Durant and Ibaka which means huge contracts. Harden said " I am open with signing with the Phoenix Suns". He also said" I have consider a return to the desert he calls home when able to make the decision". The Suns new additions this Off- Season of Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, Wesley Johnson and Michael Beasley would make the Suns once again a playoff team in the western conference. Now with James harden who  won the 6th man of the year award this year and playing for the Olympics right now would make Phoenix a huge contender in the western conference.

But Grant Hill's made a decision yesterday that he will be going to LA but hes going to be a Clipper. This will make the clippers very good next season and Hill adds them a lot in depth and a good back up to Caron Butler.
