The trade package the Clippers want to send looks like shit, and Harden was the one who chose to opt in to the deal so why should he have the right to demand a trade. They should tell Harden to either show up and stop being a baby or he’ll get fined + waste a year of his contract. If the 76ers accept that bad offer they’re still in a bad position anyway.
Nick Nurse is a good coach way better than Doc, I think Harden should give it a shot they can go far in the playoffs. If it wasn’t for him and Embiid choking plus Doc Rivers they would’ve made the conference finals easily last year.
The Sixers at this point don’t have a choice to begin with. There’s no real suitors and that includes the Clippers. The Clippers only really want Harden on their terms. Harden is going to be a Sixer. And it’s going to be up to him to digest that in the days ahead, have perspective, and recognize his value around the league is not to a level he may have believed it would and believes it should be and prove people wrong this season.
Sixers could use the draft capital to make other moves. They have little. The Morey Master Plan is gonna be hard to execute next offseason.
