James Harden’s never-ending, worsening and utterly perplexing saga with the 76ers finally has an ending.
James Harden’s never-ending, ever-worsening and utterly perplexing saga with the 76ers finally has an ending.
The star guard — who attempted to force his way out of Philadelphia after doing the same with the Nets and Rockets — will head to Los Angeles for another fresh start, as the Clippers and the 76ers agreed to a deal just five days after reportedly pausing talks, according to ESPN.
The Clippers will reportedly send Nicolas Batum, Marcus Morris, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin Jr. — as well as draft picks — in exchange for Harden, P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrusev, ESPN reported.
Harden’s desire to part ways with the 76ers became clear in June when he opted into his $35.6-million deal, and that was followed by four months where his relationship with 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey kept deteriorating.
