After months-long saga Harden finally seems to be departing Philadelphia

The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly agreed terms with the Los Angeles Clippers to trade James Harden.

The trade includes P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrusev, who will be heading to Los Angeles in exchange for Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington, Kenyon Martin Jr. and Marcus Morris, who will arrive at Philadelphia.

Four months after requesting a trade, which was infamously snubbed, Harden’s wish seems to be finally fulfilled. The 34-year-old was displeased with the team’s lack of communication prior to his designated free agency, which kicked in on July 1st.

Harden was expecting to get a long-term offer from the 76ers, but when no such arrived he dug into his $35.6 player option with the Clippers his desired destination.

The point guard did return to Philadelphia for the new season, but was left on the bench for their latest encounter with the Portland Trail Blazers, which seems to be the final straw for both parties.
