“The Clippers offered the Sixers an unprotected first-round pick, a pick swap and salaries for Harden in July, league sources say, but Philadelphia has set a much higher threshold. The Sixers have valued fifth-year forward Terance Mann and multiple first-round picks in a potential trade with the Clippers, sources added. Mann, who averaged 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds a season ago, has become a prospect of interest for teams over the past couple years.
If the Clippers are able to add to their offer in the kind of meaningful way that the two teams have previously discussed, then the next phase in this Harden saga will unfold from there and the ball, so to speak, would be in Morey’s court. But for now, with Sixers camp concluding on Friday and a preseason game in Boston on Sunday, it appears likely that Harden’s participation will continue.”

Feel like the Clips as close I’d they are already 3/4 of the way there on what is fans would be comfortable with.
An unprotected pick and a pick swap is a very tempting package. My target was Mann + 1 pick, if no Mann, 2 picks.
In the off-season, we can use our cap space and 2 picks to trade for players from teams that want to clear salary
amick = amick-no , or however that saying goes. Point is this guy is known to have zero credibility.
edit: nvm wrong guy
Honestly, if we can get Norman Powell, Cov and a pick swap out of the fat man I’ll take it!
Norman Powell is a decent wing that still has plenty of miles on his wheels. I think Cov is a bit cooked but him over Morris and I don’t think we are getting Mann. Plus, I love Cov man!
I just don’t want another Simmons situation where we wait until the last second of the deadline to move him. That shit was torture!
This quote makes me very optimistic:
“The Clippers, league sources say, are going to great lengths to make it happen.
League sources say the Clippers have been talking to several teams about ways to move pick swaps for additional draft capital with the intention of bolstering their offer and getting a deal done.”
Multiple picks and some players far exceeds what I expected.
If Jrue is worth two frp and two contributors than harden at least has to be worth a frp and a contributor. Morey is right to ask for more than a pick, a swap and salaries
picks or gtfo
Hardens value couldn’t be lower right now. At this point wait until the deadline, things change fast in the NBA.
NBA is so ridiculous now a guy who averaged 8/3 is untouchable for an MVP
Sixers get two firsts (one from each team), a swap, mann, and hield
Pacers get norm powell and some salary players to fill in the gap for hield
Clippers get harden
