► Show Spoiler

I'm sure his teammates love him.

[Superbone]

Zoran Dragic / Taylor Griffin vibes, anyone?

WHAT THE FUCK

[Wally_West]

Really strange the details of the trade are taking so long to come out. Made me think it was parody account because of it.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Why am I seeing so many surprised reactions on Twitter?

Have we not heard for the past month that the Clippers are the only team willing to trade for Harden?

Also, is this 2023-24 Pacific Division the best division in NBA history?

[specialsauce]

Good. The clippers just got worse

[Flagrant Fowl]

I don't think they got worse. The Clippers already play mismatch-isolation hunting basketball and they have plenty of defenders to cover up his deficiency on that end.

They'll be worse if (when) he's not offered the contract he wants and pouts about it.

[Gladiator]

Good. The clippers just got worse

Not sure he makes them worse but it is a slightly odd fit. I guess he can set up George and Leonard and take over a bit when they sit or get hurt.
Will be fascinating to know what Philly got for him and how Embiid is feeling now. What would the market be for him if he demanded out???

[Flagrant Fowl]

Embiid is too smart to tell us how he really feels, but I'm not so sure that he's all that bothered by Harden being traded. Harden already quit on them and there was no going back.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Three pennies and a nickel. Fucking hell that's a steal for the Clippers.

[iLLmatic]

Thank God we don’t have to deal with Kobe Morris anymore. Also, there’s not enough balls on the court to make PG, Westbrook, harden, and kawhi happy.

[Flagrant Fowl]

A decent haul of picks for Philly.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Thank God we don’t have to deal with Kobe Morris anymore. Also, there’s not enough balls on the court to make PG, Westbrook, harden, and kawhi happy.

They should move Westbrook back to the bench and start Mann next to Harden.

[Gladiator]

Embiid is too smart to tell us how he really feels, but I'm not so sure that he's all that bothered by Harden being traded. Harden already quit on them and there was no going back.

True, but I was more thinking if he held out hopes they’d get something more in return.

[Wally_West]

So clippers just traded their expiring contracts for Harden and PJ Tucker???


Then got to keep Powell, Bones and Mann too?

Lol wtf

I don’t think Mann or bones move the needle but Powell would’ve been nice, feel like you got to get at least one of them if you were the sixers.
