James Harden has arrived at the LA Clippers in a blockbuster trade from the Philadelphia 76ers. Harden, P.J. Tucker, and Filip Petrusev were all sent to Los Angeles while the 76ers will receive Marcus Morris, Robert Covington, Nic Batum, KJ Martin, a 2028 unprotected first-round pick, two second-round picks, a 2029 pick swap, and an additional first-round pick from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The 10-time All-Star guard is set to play alongside Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, along with Russell Westbrook, who played with Harden at the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets.
Harden is “ecstatic” about his move, sources have claimed. He had been looking to depart Philadelphia since June when he opted in his $35.6 million player option for the 2023-24 season. This comes after he and 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey had a fallout.
