NBA Trade Rumors: Heat Won't Pursue 76ers' James Harden amid Jrue Holiday Links

With the Damian Lillard trade saga finally coming to an end Wednesday, the final NBA superstar domino yet to fall is James Harden, who asked the Philadelphia 76ers to trade him earlier this offseason.

After striking out in their pursuit of Lillard, it doesn't appear that the Miami Heat are interested in pursuing Harden, according to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang. Harden is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer and is due $35.6 million this upcoming season.

What hasn't been ruled out for Miami is a trade for newly minted Portland Trail Blazer Jrue Holiday, who was part of Milwaukee's package for Lillard.
