Lawrence Frank and Ty Lue reiterated James Harden’s commitment to winning after the trade between the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers became official on Wednesday.
“All he cares about is one thing: He wants to win a championship for the LA Clippers. He wants to be part of something bigger than himself. He’s had all the individual awards. He’s about doing something really special,” said Frank.
Harden, who did not play Wednesday night against the Lakers, is expected to make his debut on Monday.
Frank added that Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George are all focused on winning a title.
“They’re all at the right stages of their career where there’s one common goal. Because these guys, they have all the individual accomplishments. They’ve made plenty of money. This is about one goal,” said Frank.
Lue reiterated that the key to the team’s future success was in sacrifice.
“Just sacrifice is going to be the biggest thing. And the guys we have, four guys from LA and four guys that have done a lot in their career. We’ve talked about just winning the championship. That’s all we’re focused on,” said Lue.
