The NBA offseason has been a frenzy of trade rumors and presumptions. But one interesting story that kept fans on the edge of their seats was the James Harden trade discussions between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Philadelphia 76ers. However, according to a new disclosure on The Hoop Collective podcast by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, this story may have taken an unforeseen turn.

Apparently, the trade talks between the two teams have come to an end. This means the trade did not go through and Harden is still a part of the 76ers at the moment.

The trade talk between the Clippers & the 76ers

According to Windhorst, the Los Angeles Clippers were the ones who decided to call off the James Harden trade discussions. This information sheds new light on this over-speculated situation.  The 76ers have been deemed to be demanding an excessive asking price for Harden, prompting the Clippers to reconsider their involvement.

Windhorst disclosed “[The Clippers] tried to trade for James Harden, and that deal didn’t happen. And from what I understand, it was the Clippers who said, ‘Okay, there’s no deal here. We’re gonna move on.’ And while I assume that they could certainly make a deal midseason, I assume that this is what they’re gonna go with.”

This recent development has however raised curious issues for fans and experts alike. Will the Clippers’ decision to withdraw from Harden trade negotiations have an influence on their performance this season? Will the 76ers’ asking price for Harden change as the season progresses? The NBA environment is as dynamic as it has always been, and the James Harden drama is far from done.

What’s the future of James Harden?

As Harden’s dream of playing alongside Paul George and Kawhi Leonard is shattered, fans are trying to speculate his next moves. However, Harden’s current team is thinking one step ahead.

The Philadelphia 76ers have made a strategic move by signing veteran Danny Green to a one-year deal. While this move bolsters their perimeter shooting options, it also brings a “veteran voice” into a locker room facing uncertainty, particularly with James Harden’s desire to potentially be traded.
