Although Philadelphia 76ers star guard James Harden initially named the Los Angeles Clippers as his preferred trade destination, Live Cricket BPL experts have observed a notable shift in his stance. Harden is now reportedly open to joining any team—as long as it gets him out of Philadelphia. Sometimes, the ones who treat you best are the easiest to take for granted, and Harden appears to have reached his breaking point.
Originally, Harden had zeroed in on the Clippers as his one-and-only option. However, according to Live Cricket BPL sources, the Clippers have been hesitant to offer a competitive trade package. They’ve reportedly refused to include even role player Terance Mann in the deal, which has stalled talks indefinitely. As the deal lingers in limbo, the 76ers have shown signs of backing away from any trade altogether. Meanwhile, during a fan event in China, Harden publicly lashed out at Sixers president Daryl Morey.
Despite the world being full of disappointments, Harden made it clear he’s not willing to make peace with the front office. In front of fans and media, he flatly called Morey a liar and swore never to work with him again under any circumstance. This public outburst all but confirms that the relationship between player and management has fully unraveled. Harden’s recent openness to alternative trade destinations shows that, from his perspective, any outcome is better than staying in Philadelphia.
The drama hasn’t gone unnoticed by other NBA figures. Kyrie Irving, Harden’s former teammate in Brooklyn, voiced support for Harden on social media. Kevin McHale, who coached Harden during his early years with the Houston Rockets, chimed in as well, placing much of the blame on the Sixers’ front office. McHale believes that if leadership had met Harden’s expectations, the current fallout might have been avoided.
While Live Cricket BPL analysts won’t delve into every detail of the Harden-Morey feud, one thing is clear: Harden’s chances of playing for the Sixers next season are slim to none. Looking back, his decision to take a pay cut last offseason now appears to have backfired badly. Many view it as a trap laid by the front office—one that ultimately forced Harden’s hand and left him no choice but to burn bridges on his way out.
