Sixers to Trade James Harden After Controversial Statement
When it comes to the most popular NBA trades, James Harden is one of the players that has been making the headlines for a long time. He is constantly requesting his trade from different NBA teams. Now that he is playing from the 76ers, he is also requesting a trade from them.
This happened after he had a word with the general manager of the 76ers, Daryl Morey. Harden called Daryl “a liar”. Since his callout to the general manager, NBA Insiders have confirmed he will be traded to another team.
However, they have also confirmed that Daryl will wait until he receives the best offer for the star guard. This situation is also degrading the value of Harden and has hit an all-time low.
Ari Schwartz, a popular NBA news writer from HoopsHabit, has proposed a trade between the Lakers and 76ers. This deal suggests the Lakers should trade D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, and a 2029 first-round draft pick (protected by top 5 teams to acquire James Harden from the Sixers.
Schwartz wrote:
“While he’s not the player he used to be, Harden is still very productive, finishing last season as the league’s assist-per-game leader.”
“He would provide the Lakers with much-needed help as a floor general. It would be pretty easy for Los Angeles to outbid other potential suitors with some interesting but expendable assets on their hands.”
