The Philadelphia 76ers have ended trade talks involving James Harden and intend to bring him back to the team during training camp.
The Sixers and Los Angeles Clippers had periodic discussions on a trade involving Harden, but the two sides were unable to gain any traction.
When Harden opted into his $35.6 million option for 23-24 with the Sixers, the team agreed to accommodate him with a trade. The Sixers ultimately decided not to make a trade they felt would compromise their chances of competing for a title.
Harden has been emphatic in seeking a trade from the Sixers as they reportedly do not view him as part of their long-term plans.
