Harden Wants To Ball In LA?

After another disappointing year for the Philadelphia 76ers, former MVP James Harden is requesting a trade from the organization. Harden has been demanding an extension that would profit him around $35 million a year. However, both sides have yet to reach a settlement point, and that has led Harden to express his frustration. Harden has made it clear that he is very interested in joining the Los Angeles Clippers. A source close to Harden told The Athletic about his desires to join the Clippers, saying, "He’s still upset with how Morey handled his situation heading into possible free agency last month. And even with the recent revelation that Harden attended the same NBPA party as Sixers co-star Joel Embiid and former Sixers owner Michael Rubin in Vegas, he’s still determined to start next season in a Clippers jersey." The 76ers still want to retain Harden and have him paired next to league MVP Joel Embiid.

The Joker Takes Home Best Basketball Player Of The Year
