[Toporek] If James Harden is so adamantly Clippers-or-bust, he better be willing to waive his 15% trade kicker to make the salary-matching math work if needed.

This is just all agent and media talk tbh. It’s pretty clear at this point that Morey will wait till the clippers become more desperate and actually propose a trade that gives the Sixers some value besides their offer of like 1-2 of their well overpaid 30+ year olds
I hate this team.
Powell, covington, kj martin, filler and 2028 & 2030 firsts would be lovely
If he is so adamant about going to the clippers he should’ve opted out and signed with the clippers.
I’m convinced the whole reason he is asking out is for that 15% kicker. Since he didn’t get what he wanted in the market, he’s trying to collect as much as possible
