This is a hypothetical scenario where the LA Clippers are over the salary cap and must trade a player to reach the salary cap. This survey is to measure fan's feelings about this trade and the team. The survey is completely anonymous so no personal data besides data will form the demographics that will be asked of you. This is for a school project measuring fan perceptions. We are not members of the LA Clippers staff in any way. Please be as honest as possible. Thank you.
Here are some assumptions about this hypothetical trade:
1. The player that was traded for will keep the same salary (not including trade kickers)
2. Both players and teams are open to this trade
3. The players in question are James Harden of the LA Clippers and Tyrese Maxey of the Philadelphia 76ers
3a. These players will swap teams.
Reasons for the decision to trade James Harden for Tyrese Maxey:
- Harden has been playing subpar since arriving in L.A.
- Since joining the Clippers, the team has lost 6 games straight in a row
- Harden's former teammate on the Philadelphia 76ers, Tyrese Maxey, has stepped up following Harden's departure
- Even before Harden was traded to the Clippers, Maxey has taken strides and grown every season
