The NBA offseason will have plenty of exciting storylines to follow.
We see plenty of star players each offseason that demand trades or sign with new teams.
We can be sure there will be some big names that change the landscape of the league.
One player that has an exciting offseason ahead is James Harden.
The All-Star has a player option for this upcoming season which he will likely decline.
Many reports have surfaced that Harden wants to return to Houston and play out the rest of his career there.
But, he also knows that his best chance to win is if he stays with the 76ers.
Skip Bayless thinks all contending teams should pass on Harden.
He has shown that he is not a championship-level player and Bayless thinks he should chase the money in Houston.
Report: James Harden is "torn" between 76ers & Rockets:
"If I ran a contending team, I wouldn't be interested James Harden. He should take the $50M in Houston and semi-retire into the sunset."

Harden is a great regular-season player but is inconsistent in the playoffs.
Just like in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Harden had a few great games and a few stinkers.
But, the Sixers have brought in a new coach Nick Nurse and should see if he can get the best out of Harden.
While it would be a mistake for the Rockets to give Harden a massive contract, they need a star player.
Harden will help sell tickets and he was always a fan favorite during his time there.
Also, the Rockets are undergoing a regime change with Ime Udoka as head coach.
The Harden sweepstakes this offseason will be one worth monitoring.
