James Harden’s head will be on a swivel long before the NBA All-Star Game finally tips off on Sunday.
As the Houston Rockets’ lone All-Star and the unofficial host of the festivities that will take place in his team’s town, he’ll be pulled a few dozen different ways for appearances, interviews, photo-shoots and — last but certainly not least — his job as a coach in the celebrity game on Friday. But considering his young-and-upcoming team is still in need of the sort of talent that will be in ample supply at the event, he’ll leave some time for the sort of recruiting effort that is tailor-made for this annual, star-studded scene.
“I’ll do a little bit of recruiting during the All-Star break, but my main focus is on just trying to get this team focused on every single game, every practice,” Harden, whose team has significant salary cap space that can be used this summer if they don’t do a major deal before the Feb. 21 trade deadline, told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday.
“I can’t worry about who we want to recruit and things like that. … For the most part, we’re trying to make the playoffs.”
