After months of grueling speculations and ceaseless rounds of standstill under the guise of engagements, the Philadelphia 76ers finally have a resolution to the dramatic James Harden saga: no resolution.
In a very surprising move, the Sixers have reportedly quashed trade talks for the All-Star guard and are now preparing to enter the 2023-24 campaign with him on the roster. This, despite his well-pronounced desire to be traded as he enters the final year of his contract.
Philadelphia was rumored to have resumed negotiations with the LA Clippers on a potential deal just recently, but one can only assume at this point that the latter has ultimately failed or decline outright to match the 76ers’ lofty asking price.
