The Philadelphia 76ers should immediately submit a strong trade offer for James Harden.
It’s official. James Harden has asked out of Houston, according to Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle. Harden reportedly wants a trade to Brooklyn, but that shouldn’t stop the Philadelphia 76ers from getting involved — immediately.
Daryl Morey has said the Sixers’ best strategy might be to wait and see how the roster looks under Doc Rivers before making any foundation-shifting changes. But frankly, James Harden — a top-five NBA player and one of the greatest scorers in NBA history — does not come a-knockin’ very often.
