Clippers maximized unorthodox method to prevent inevitable James Harden demand

Amid a losing scene that has reached 23, James Harden may request a trade. Rumors and trade buzz have left opinions mixed on the former MVP’s desires, and it is simply evident that a superstar, trying his absolute best to win each night but consistently left empty-handed, would ask out.

However, the Clippers, particularly their G-League affiliate located in San Diego, California, took the unconventional route by trading for Hunter Sallis, Harden’s second cousin. This is certainly a reason to get Harden excited, as family ties in the association certainly go a long way.

Thus, LA is where Harden grew up, the city that he considers home, and it has ultimately been a dream come true to play in.
