The disgruntled 10-time All-Star point guard and the Clippers reportedly have mutual interest in joining forces, but the 76ers are exploring all of their options before making a deal.
The Clippers’ anticipated trade for James Harden might still happen. It just didn’t happen on the first day of the NBA’s free agency negotiating window.
The Clippers have long desired to find a top lead guard to pair with All-Star wings Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and Harden, a former league MVP, fits the bill. But according to reports citing unnamed sources, the 76ers wanted to see what other offers might transpire and that has delayed any potential deal.
But the Sixers are believed to be seeking value for Harden and that could cost the Clippers a host of role players. The Clippers are not expected to give up either Leonard or George, players who Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank has said they want to build around.
