Dice @PompeyOnSixers que el precio que @DMorey exige a @LAClippers por James Harden son dos selecciones de primera vuelta y Terance Mann.

Report: James Harden has not been around the 76ers, practiced since Sunday.
He’s being true to his word of not playing for a Morey team, but it does not change the trade dynamics, which remain stuck in the mud.

James Harden could be subjected to a $389,082 fine for every preseason and regular season game he misses without the consent of the team.
The fine would fall under “failure to render services”.
There’s also a minimal fine (starting at $2500)for missing practice. – 11:56 AM

More on this storyline
Maybe the Clippers get desperate and meet the Sixers’ asking price of two first-round picks and wing Terance Mann in a package for James Harden. Right now, it’s a waiting game to see which team gets the most desperate. And that might end up being the Sixers over time. Time will tell what happens. But Harden skipping practice could be the start of several uncomfortable situations — if he returns. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / October 18, 2023
Harden was a no-show at Wednesday’s practice. A league source says Harden has been in Houston since traveling there following Sunday’s practice at the Sixers practice facility in Camden. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / October 18, 2023
A league source told The Inquirer last week that Los Angeles wants the deal done soon. The Clippers are interested in him adding regular-season scoring as a way to take the load off Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Los Angeles wants their All-Star wings healthy for what it hopes will be a long postseason run. The source said Daryl Morey, the Sixers president of basketball operations, is holding up the deal. The Sixers only want to trade Harden for an All-Star player or assets to acquire one. But as the only team bidding for him, a source said the Clippers don’t feel a need to overpay for the 34-year-old. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / October 18, 2023
