One of the worst-ever trade situations in a team and player is between the Philadelphia 76ers and James Harden. The star player wants to leave the Sixers and join another team.
James has even declared Sixers’ general manager, Daryl Morey, “a liar.” The situation is worsening with time, and Harden’s trade value is decreasing. Not only Harden will face loss but also the Sixers’ as they won’t get the desired return for him.
Since many teams are losing interest in Harden due to his low value, the Sacramento Kings have shown interest in the star guard due to his low-buying value. Could the Kings acquire Harden in a trade?
The James Harden Trade Proposal
- The Philadelphia 76ers will receive the forward Harrison Barnes and the guard-forward Kevin Huerter.
- In return, the Sacramento Kings will receive the guard James Harden.
Harden has a tendency to criticize his own teams. During his time with the Houston Rockets, he said “couldn’t be fixed” about his team. However, we can’t declare him a controversial player.
Harden stayed with the Rockets for a long time and won many important matches for them. He was one of the best players in the Rockets due to his unique offensive skillset. After all, he made the Rockets much more successful, like any top organization in the league.
Why Do the Sacramento Kings Want to Acquire James Harden?
The Sacramento Kings are acquiring Harden due to their weak defensive side. Even though the Kings are one of the best offensive teams in the league, they are losing games constantly due to their poor defense game. And we all know James is a great defender.
Why Do the Philadelphia Sixers Want This Trade Deal?
Harden’s value is constantly dropping off in the trade market. The Sixers want to grab the deal as they are getting valuable additions like Huerter in return.
With all this James Harden news, let’s not forget James Harden outplayed “MVP” Joel Embiid in the 2nd round

For the Sixers, it is the most difficult part to find a better return than this because of the fact that Harden is a massive risk to retain in the team. Currently, his trade value is at an all-time low point.
