In conflict with the 76ers, James Harden found a way out. According to several American media including ESPN, “The Beard” will be included in an exchange sending him to the Los Angeles Clippers. Philadelphia must recover several players in this transaction including Frenchman Nicolas Batum.
Seven players involved in the trade
After just one season in Philadelphia, James Harden is preparing to experience a fifth franchise. Before the start of the season, the 34-year-old skipped training for ten days to show his anger towards his president, calling him a “liar” for contractual reasons.
In addition to James Harden, PJ Tucker and Filip Petrusev are also expected at the Clippers. Marcus Morris, Robert Covington and KJ Martin will accompany Nicolas Batum to Philadelphia. The 76ers also get an unprotected 2028 first-round pick, two second-round picks and a pick swap.
Due to lack of space within their squad, the 76ers have also terminated the contract of veteran Danny Green (36 years old). In Los Angeles, James Harden will play with prestigious teammates like Russell Westbrook, Paul George or Kawhi Leonard. The choice of the Clippers was the priority of the 2018 MVDP, he who grew up in southern California.
