However, American sources such as Yahoo Sports said, “It is not known what Philadelphia agreed to receive in return for sending Harden.” 안전놀이터
James Harden
Harden is a top guard in the league who has been selected as an NBA All-Star 10 times and was selected as the regular league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2018.
He, who has a trademark beard, was traded from the Brooklyn Nets to Philadelphia in February 2022, and appeared in 58 regular league games in the 2022-2023 season, scoring 21 points, 10.7 assists, and 6.1 rebounds.
Harden requested a trade from Philadelphia in June of this year after the end of the 2022-2023 season,
and did not appear in a game even after the start of the 2023-2024 season.
Harden decided to leave Philadelphia due to a conflict with Philadelphia club president Darryl Morey.
President Morey has a long relationship with James Harden,
having served as Houston general manager when Harden was playing for the Houston Rockets.
LA Clippers
Harden sacrificed himself for the team by conceding the terms of his contract ahead of the 2022-2023 season,
but it is known that he felt betrayed by President Morey,
who was reluctant to renew his long-term contract ahead of the 2023-2024 season.
If the LA Clippers recruit Harden, they will form a ‘super team’ with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook.
Of course, there is a prerequisite that they are not given away in exchange for a trade.
Harden has experience playing with Westbrook for a total of four seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston.
However, as the terms of the LA Clippers‘ offer to Philadelphia have not yet been revealed,
it is highly likely that it will take some time for the actual trade to reach a final agreement.
