76ers make James Harden trade official.
Philly gets 2028 Clippers unprotected 1st, least favorable of OKC’s 2026 1sts (Houston, LAC, OKC), swap rights to 2029 Clippers 1st (protected 1-3), Batum, 2 2nds, Covington, Martin Jr., + Morris Sr.
LA gets Harden, PJ Tucker, + Petrušev. – 11:36 AM

24 hours later, the most notable element of the Harden trade for the East balance right now was the fact PJ Tucker also exited. The Embiid-Tucker combination was formidable for the inevitable Giannis question for any East contender. I suspect any trade this season addresses this. – 7:55 AM

Asked Russell Westbrook if he’s happy judging by his smile when he said talking about James Harden and PJ Tucker are off limits until trade is official, Russ made it clear he’s definitely happy. – 1:36 AM

PJ Tucker told me he isn’t sure how all his shoes will be transported to LA. But to hold him down until then, he packed 4-5 bags full of kicks. Each bag holds 20-plus pairs. – 9:40 PM

Ohm Youngmisuk: James Harden walked through the Clippers locker room singing “You Dropped A Bomb On Me” which was playing in trainers room. Harden and Russell Westbrook are now laughing it up with PJ Tucker. Harden’s new locker is across from Russ’ and he joked Harden should stay on his side. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / November 1, 2023
