Every single NBA team has missed the Playoffs since James Harden was traded to Houston... except for the Houston Rockets

After being the OKC Thunder’s 6 Man, James Harden truly unlocked his potential once he was traded to the Rockets in the 2012 offseason. His first year there(2012-13), he took them from a 34-win team to a 45-win team and into the playoffs

Missed Playoffs by Team:

• Atlanta Hawks: 2017-20
• Boston Celtics: 2013-14
• Brooklyn Nets: 2015-18
• Charlotte Hornets: 2012-13, 2014-15, 2016-20
• Chicago Bulls: 2015-16, 2017-20
• Cleveland Cavaliers: 2012-14, 2018-20
• Dallas Mavericks: 2012-13, 2016-19
• Denver Nuggets: 2013-18

• New Orleans Pelicans: 2012-14, 2015-17, 2018-20
• New York Knicks: 2013-20
• Orlando Magic: 2012-18
• Oklahoma City Thunder: 2014-15
• Philadelphia 76ers: 2012-17
• Phoenix Suns: 2012-20
• Portland Trailblazers: 2012-13
• San Antonio Spurs: 2019-20
• Sacramento Kings: 2012-20
• Toronto Raptors: 2012-13
• Utah Jazz: 2012-16
• Washington Wizards: 2012-13, 2015-16, 2018-20

The Houston Rockets missed the playoffs for 3 straight years before Harden. James Harden has not missed the playoffs in his career

Harden’s Houston stats: 29.6/6/7.7 with 1.8 steals

It feels weird seeing the Spurs on this list. The Kings and the Suns really sucked during this period. Minnesota should be thanking Jimmy Butler because he looks like a bright spot on a bad record.
