After a lot of drama around the Philadelphia 76ers in the past few months because of James Harden, that is finally over as the Beard was traded to the LA Clippers as he wished since he chose his player option with Philly.
What does the team’s manager, Nick Nurse, think about the trade? When the organization reached him to tell him about the trade, the head coach was sleeping.
“I received a call,” Nurse shared with a smile after today’s training, “and I slept through it. But I did get up a couple hours later and came straight to work.”
Now, Nurse will have a different team – 1 without not only the Beard but also P.J. Tucker, who was on the court from the 1st minute in the 1st 3 matches of the 76ers, along with backup forward Filip Petrusev.
However, the positives are much more appreciated as the drama between Philadelphia and Harden has ended.
