It’s anything but a secret, since it’s even official: James Harden wants to leave Philadelphia. And the All-Star rear even gave his preference since he would like to join Kawhi Leonard and Paul George at the Clippers. Only, even if the player is determined to leave, such a transfer does not come so easily.
This is certainly the reason why, dead calm reigns around the rumors of James Harden, whose whims cool everyone. However, The Athletic restarted the machine by announcing on Tuesday that discussions should resume, even before the start of the season. Our colleagues thus recall that Daryl Morey has undertaken to ” satisfy “ his player’s request.
If the Sixers are ready to discuss the departure of the best passer in the NBA, they also warned that they would not sell it off. The future and the sporting ambitions of the franchise are at stake, and Joel Embiid should absolutely not be offended or discouraged by simply collecting Draft picks and players without experience. Clearly, Philly will still aim for the title this season, and the leaders want to compensate for the departure of Harden with good players, even a very good player.
We do not yet know around whom the Clippers’ proposal will be articulated, but it will be complicated to make an interesting offer since Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are untouchable. No doubt it will be necessary to include a 3rd, even a 4th team, in the exchange for the Sixers to find their happiness. Exactly like the Heat looking to get Damian Lillard back.
