On Saturday, news broke that the Philadelphia 76ers were no longer holding trade talks involving James Harden. However, that doesn’t mean Harden intends to play for the Sixers again.
A source close to Harden said that he no longer wants to play for Philadelphia and has no plan of taking part in training camp. Harden continues to want a trade, ideally to the LA Clippers. Harden’s camp continues to believe that a trade will materialize ahead of training camp opening.
Trade talks between the 76ers and Clippers have been stagnant. Philadelphia front officer leader Daryl Morey is continuing to drive a high asking price for Harden. To this point, the Clippers, nor any other team, have been willing to meet that price for the aging guard and his expiring contract.
