James Harden has moved onto his third team in two seasons with the trade from Nets to 76ers, and his efforts to force moves made him the last pick in the All-Star Draft between LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Even with an injury keeping Harden out of Cleveland he may have gotten another shot.
When James was asked about his impression of Oklahoma City rookie Josh Giddey, who became the youngest player in NBA history with three consecutive triple-doubles this week (including against the Knicks) he praised him and then switched gears to compliment the Thunder general manager Sam Presti.
