Honestly I think even if you ignore the two 1sts and a 2nd the Clippers now owe the Sixers, I still think the Sixers won the trade just based on the players swapped. Losing Harden was like addition by subtraction for them, and the guys they got have been really helpful for them. Meanwhile the Clippers could really use some of those wings instead of just another ball dominant guard who doesn’t defend.
If it’s not looking like Ballmer is gonna give Harden his big payday, then you can pretty much guarantee Harden is gonna demand a trade. His whole point in going to the Clippers was because he believed they were the team most likely to give him his max.
not to mention of how important Batum was to keep shit under control. I would think that would be Georges job or PJs but both just look up at the ceiling.

Hey man, just give him like…30 games to get back to being “prime Harden”
…which means he will probably try to demand a trade by January.
