I think Terance Mann is a really good player. Like many, I’m also struggling a little bit with the idea that he’s the hold up in a deal for James Harden.
But I tried to at least understand what the Clippers’ thought process might be today on the pod.

The Sixers’ pitch to get Harden on board (even temporarily) should be simple — a Clippers team unwilling to give up a role player for you doesn’t value you like our team does.

With the Clippers deal now essentially being dead, Harden’s camp is now engaging in an ostensibly desperate PR offensive against the Sixers, lobbying accusations that date back to his time in Brooklyn.

In the last 48 hours the Clippers were offered James Harden for ONE 1st round pick, ONE pick swap & Terrence Mann & they rejected the offer.
This killed all momentum towards a deal getting done & Harden’s disappointment at that result is why he no-showed today. – 6:24 PM

More on this storyline
Ky Carlin: Nick Nurse said it’s now “unlikely” that James Harden plays tomorrow against the Hawks in the preseason finale #Sixers -via Twitter @Ky_Carlin / October 19, 2023
Despite the Sixers indicating that they would accept an offer of a Clippers’ unprotected first-round pick, first-round pick swap, players to match the salaries and Terance Mann, two people involved in the negotiations say Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank reiterated the team’s stance that Mann would not be part of their offer. Daryl Morey, those people say, expressed his disbelief and accused the Clippers of being “unserious” about getting a deal done. He even quipped that they should just trade Clippers star Paul George for James Harden if they were so determined to keep all of their lesser assets — a request that was immediately denied. -via The Athletic / October 18, 2023
Unless Harden shares a reason for the absence that the Sixers deem worthy of being excused, all signs point to Harden being fined by the team going forward. Harden, who remains furious at Morey for his handling of the situation, has stayed in communication with the team by way of general manager Elton Brand as recently as Tuesday night. -via The Athletic / October 18, 2023
