Sixers Want Another All-Star Guard
The Philadelphia 76ers want to flip the assets in the James Harden trade to get another All-Star guard to pair alongside Joel Embiid and their backcourt.
Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, if Philadelphia does send Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers, then they’ll use L.A.’s assets to secure a big replacement for Harden.
However, because the asking price is significantly higher than what the market commands, it’ll most likely be a slower process and go well into the season before the first deal comes together.
Daryl Morey is motivated to keep this Philly team strong, and even stronger, for a push for a deep playoff run. They consider themselves a championship-contending franchise.
