Damian Lillard from the Philadelphia 76ers and James Harden from the Portland Trail Blazers have both requested to get traded from their respective teams.
Damian Lillard wants to move to the Miami Heat, but the trade package has not been announced yet.
NBA Trade Rumors: James Harden’s Uncertain Future with the Philadelphia 76ers
Even though the Sixers were able to reach the conference finals, it is surprising to see James Harden wants to be traded to another team.
The Philadelphia 76ers had struggled to achieve such success over the past two decades. Regarding James’ performance, he did well in the 2nd round against the Celtics, but unfortunately, his performance declined throughout the series, which ended with a score of 4-3.
The Sixers want to win the title and are reluctant to trade James Harden for other young players and draft picks. The Sixers are looking for players who can help them immediately.
James’ trade has been linked with the LA Clippers. However, the Clippers are offering a package that may not be sufficient for Harden.
Apart from the Clippers, the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat are other possibilities for the James Harden trade.
Damian Lillard Trade Scenario: Miami Heat’s Interest and Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown in the Mix
Damian Lillard’s trade situation is different from James Harden’s, as he prefers the Miami Heat. The Trail Blazers are considering a full rebuild, and they are considering some other players in return for their star player.
Even though the Miami Heat is keeping an eye on Lillard’s trade, they don’t want to sacrifice all their assets just to acquire Lillard.
Lillard may get traded to other teams like the Boston Celtics, who could trade their Jaylen Brown for him if the Miami Heat doesn’t offer a lucrative package to him.
