The Los Angeles Clippers and the Philadelphia 76ers remain engaged in talks surrounding a trade for star guard James Harden a week ahead of the start of the regular season, league sources said. Here’s what you need to know: Harden has not attended any of the 76ers’ three preseason games, has skipped a shootaround and has only participated in one five-on-five live competition in the two weeks since training camp began, per the sources.

The LA Clippers are doing their part to be ready for a strong season. But there’s a reason why James Harden discussions haven’t formally ended.

While Clippers, Sixers are at something of a standstill in James Harden negotiations, Tyrese Maxey is navigating another point guard melodrama with speed — and without an extension. “I understand it’s the business aspect of it,” Maxey told @YahooSports.

More on this storyline
There remains a belief Harden will make his season debut during Philadelphia’s final exhibition on Friday against Atlanta. And yet he remains unwavering in his desire to join the Clippers, according to league sources. -via Yahoo! Sports / October 17, 2023
Although there doesn’t seem to be an end to this stalemate on the near horizon. Morey has been adamant he wants the Clippers to send a second first-round pick, plus a future pick swap and expiring contracts in exchange for Harden, according to league sources. Los Angeles has indicated no desire to part with more than one first-rounder and has little reason to do so, knowing there aren’t other bidders aggressively pursuing Harden’s services. The same goes for the Clippers parting with talented forward Terance Mann, sources said. -via Yahoo! Sports / October 17, 2023
The Clippers have indicated they value their unprotected 2028 first-round selection quite highly, sources said, due to the uncertain futures of their roster as Kawhi Leonard and Paul George enter the final guaranteed seasons of their respective contracts. The Clippers find their pick so valuable, Los Angeles has explored dealing the first-rounder to a third team for a pair of first-rounders and therefore satisfying the Sixers’ asking price, sources said. And yet it’s difficult to imagine any front office completing that swap with the Clippers aside from some club trading two lesser first-round picks in favor of Los Angeles’ one-day lottery ticket. -via Yahoo!
