As trade talks continue to show a significant gap between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Clippers, the likelihood of James Harden starting the season with the Sixers is steadily increasing, as reported by Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
Being told by one source tonight that with Clippers still unwilling to include Terance Mann or additional draft capital during talks with Philadelphia in recent days, it’s increasingly likely James Harden will be on the Sixers’ roster to start the season next Thursday vs. Bucks. https://t.co/GnP47kg9BR

The consensus among insiders is that Harden will likely remain with his current team, as both sides appear to have substantial differences in their negotiations.
