James Harden Stats

The Los Angeles Clippers were reportedly the desired trade spot for superstar guard James Harden this offseason. Harden has quickly become frustrated in Philadelphia and made it known he wants to be traded this offseason. The Clippers and 76ers discussed a possible Harden trade, but they never finalized anything. Now, it appears the Clippers are ready to move on from Harden trade discussions. It remains to be seen what Harden plans to do if the Sixers are unable to find a trade partner before the beginning of the season. It looks like the Clippers are out on Harden for now, so the Sixers will likely have to look elsewhere.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey still has faith in the team's ability to compete even if James Harden gets his wish and moves on from the organization ahead of the 2023-24 NBA campaign. "I think with the position that the Sixers are in, we can't ever see a season as 'a wash.' We have talent. We have the reigning MVP on our team," Maxey said on his podcast. "We have to go out there and expect to win. Expect to still try to complete our goal. It'll definitely be even more difficult now that one of our best players has decided he doesn't want to come back and play. That's how life goes." Maxey will definitely have a bigger part to play in the proceedings if Harden indeed leaves town. He upped his scoring output by 4.5 points last season without Harden in the lineup.

Reportedly, the only assurance that Harden was given was that he would be traded "quickly."

Sources have told ESPN that the NBA has launched an inquiry regarding the situation surrounding James Harden's public criticism of the Philadelphia 76ers' president of basketball operations, Daryl Morey. Harden called Morey a "liar" at the start of the week and said he would "never be a part of an organization that he's a part of." According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne, the NBA is now looking into the situation to determine an understanding of whether Harden was portending a 2023-2024 holdout in violation of the league's collective bargaining agreement -- or had been referencing past contract discussions with the organization that might constitute salary cap circumvention. ESPN's report adds that sources have also told that Harden has privately indicated that his public comments had only been a response to Morey's decision to end trade discussions with the expectation that the former MVP would start the season in Philadelphia.
