Follow usThe Philadelphia 76ers have decided not to trade the 10th-time All-Star player James Harden and will call the Beard back to the training camp for the start of the campaign, as that will be a very delicate situation as the guard wants to be traded.

Philly had periodic conversations in recent months with the Los Angeles Clippers – James’ preferred destination – but the 2 franchises didn’t reach a deal.
The 76ers agreed to try to trade the superstar after he activated his 35.6 million dollar player option in the offseason. Still, Philadelphia wants huge compensation for him, and neither organization in the NBA is willing to agree to such a deal.
The franchise believes that they can fight for the title in the upcoming season if Harden remains on the team and play with the MVP center Joel Embiid.
The Beard is unhappy with the 76ers president Daryl Morey who didn’t offer him a maximum-level deal, and he can push for a way out of Philly again.
