The trade package the Clippers want to send looks like shit, and Harden was the one who chose to opt in to the deal so why should he have the right to demand a trade. They should tell Harden to either show up and stop being a baby or he’ll get fined + waste a year of his contract. If the 76ers accept that bad offer they’re still in a bad position anyway.
Nick Nurse is a good coach way better than Doc, I think Harden should give it a shot they can go far in the playoffs. If it wasn’t for him and Embiid choking plus Doc Rivers they would’ve made the conference finals easily last year.
I’d love for them to play hardball and make him sit in the bench all year. But it would be way way way too much of a distraction. Unfortunately they’re pretty much gonna have to dump his ass. Kinda reminds when the Warriors had to take Tom Gugliotta in exchange for Webber.
