NBA transfer: James Harden insists on parting ways with the 76ers, wants to go to LA Clippers

After the majority of free agents on the NBA transfer market found a place, fans of the American professional basketball league began to turn to exchange deals.

The most prominent in this group are two superstars who have asked to leave in the past: James Harden wants to leave the Philadelphia 76ers and Damian Lillard wants to leave the Portland Trail Blazers.

Both have caused headaches for the host team and stakeholders, and both have had times when they have reached a dead end. As for James Harden, it is possible that he will not be able to leave as he wished.

The Athletic's Sam Amick has collected information from technical directors (GMs) in the NBA. As a result, most GMs believe Philadelphia 76ers technical director Daryl Morey will do whatever it takes to keep James Harden.

Still, Harden was like Damian Lillard. Both are very keen to leave the team they are contractually bound to. According to journalist Sam Amick, the "bearded god" still aims to reach the LA Clippers.

The Athletic site writes about this as follows:

Last summer, James Harden accepted a pay cut to support the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA transfer market. This helps the Sixers have more salary to improve the quality of the squad, specifically the contract with defensive expert PJ Tucker.

Experts believe that with this beautiful action of Harden last year, the 76ers will have the form of repaying with a long-term contract with a high value this summer. However, that scenario did not happen.

The Philadelphia 76ers found it inappropriate to give James Harden a big contract at this time, especially when he was about to turn 34. This made the "beard god" feel sad and decided to leave. .

Now, James Harden and technical director Daryl Morey will enter a battle of wits to see who will yield to the opponent first.

Mr. Morey, known for his persistence, is likely to make it difficult for Harden. Thanks to extreme patience with the case of Ben Simmons, he brought James Harden himself to the Philadelphia 76ers in February 2022.
