Here’s the funny thing — there IS no Harden trade.
Chicago isn’t trading Derozan for him.
Clips aren’t giving anything up for him.
Younger teams don’t want him.
Contenders can’t risk it.
That leaves only one candidate… an embattled franchise w/ a history of foolish risks… pic.twitter.com/WEwD1OJyWO – 12:31 PM

Let me defend Harden for a second because all the criticism speaks for itself — him opting-in to get traded then the team saying ‘never mind’ is pretty wild. At least if that’s how it went down. Losing Houston killed him. But what’s that say about him? – 10:44 AM

More on this storyline
Jason Dumas: Source: Daryl Morey is unmoved by James’ comments. He is holding firm in his stance that he will not trade him unless it makes the Sixers a better team. Meanwhile, I’m told James’ agent advised him against making that statement. -via Twitter @JDumasReports / August 14, 2023
John Clark: I’m told the Sixers never had an agreement, made an offer, or exchanged proposals with James Harden and his reps heading into this year’s free agency. It’s my understanding the Sixers told James and his reps they would meet with them the second free agency starts. James and his reps did not like that scenario and opted in to the one year with the Sixers and asked for a trade. The Sixers looked into possible trades but there was nothing that they liked from the LA Clippers or any team. The NBA investigated the Sixers last year for tampering but the NBA found no communication with James Harden that violated any tampering rules. They were punished and lost several second round picks for tampering with P.J. Tucker and Danuel House Jr. -via Facebook.com / August 14, 2023
A team source told NBC Sports Philadelphia that, while the Sixers honored Harden’s request to explore a trade with the Clippers, they never got close to a deal. The Sixers don’t feel a Harden trade would make sense unless it supports the organization’s priority of maximizing its championship odds, a source said. -via NBC Sports Philadelphia / August 14, 2023
