NEWS:
In the last 48 hours the Clippers were offered James Harden for ONE 1st round pick, ONE pick swap & Terrence Mann & they rejected the offer.
This killed all momentum towards a deal getting done & Harden’s disappointment at that result is why he no-showed today.

With the Clippers deal now essentially being dead, Harden’s camp is now engaging in an ostensibly desperate PR offensive against the Sixers, lobbying accusations that date back to his time in Brooklyn.
James Harden quits on a team & torches them on his way out, Part 3.

Nick doesn’t usually report stuff like this, so a surprise that he “broke” the news here. FYI, Nick picked the sixers to come out of the east last season I believe.
edit: unrelated he also had some good takes on the eagles last season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fETQCUcbTc

Harden never beating the man boob allegations
Clippers are actually unserious if they’re not even willing to give up a single pick.
Harden: “Terance Mann over me??”
like how he’s trying to frame that like some cheap offer 😂 fuck off morey shill
that’s a good offer imo. especially since Harden will ruin any good Philly vibes this season if he stays
Mann and some shitty picks is their version of TT, Shump, and the Nets pick, eh?
I’m genuinely shocked that Harden has that little trade value. He’s still an All Star caliber player even with all his faults. If all it’s taking is 1 pick and a decent player why are the Heat or Knicks or someone not jumping all over this
The money doesn’t even match. 🧢
Mann is 27. I have nothing else to say.
It’s worth noting that Nick has ties to Morey dating back to the Houston days
Sixers PR pulling a Game 6 Lebron
James Harden is a child.
I’d feel a lot better about this exhausting mess if Marcus Morris would be mentioned at least once. “Matching salary” won’t cut it, I need to see his name spelled out.
Terrance Mann should not be holding this deal up 😂
I’d be chilling if I was the Clippers. See how the season goes.
Harden just has too much bagge at this point.
What a baby
>[Wright] … Terrence Mann
Yo how hard it is to spell a dude’s name right?
lol

If Harden wants to get to the Clippers he was probably better off showing up to practice and playing. This just lowers his trade value, and I doubt Morey will accept anything less than this offer
So is Ballmer gonna trade for Harden with the intent to extend him along with PG/Kawhi?
Kinda risky injury/age wise but I guess it’s really worth having 3 star names in LA.
Hey thats Terrence Man, face of the Sketchers Basketball Division, your talking about
Damn, they really turned that down? Seems like a good deal, can see why Harden’s mad.
He is literally a Morey friend so I take everything he says about them with a grain of salt
That’s not terrible, I’d ask for Powell instead though. 76ers just need to make a deal and hand the reigns to Maxey. Maxey and Embiid had a really good +/- last year. Still a top 4 East seed with health and no Harden imo.
because the clippers dont want him that bad. They think that a guy who knows his role and plays it well is better for them than some guy who thinks he’s still MVP caliber.
This isnt that hard Clippers should be reluctant to give up anyone useful. Harden does not make them much better.
Now my angle is they should still do the deal because we know its just a matter of time before PG and Kawhi will miss time and Harden could be a good plug.
They’re just not that into you bro
Terrance Mann is probably the only clipper player under 30
Shams actually reported this offer about an hour ago on IG.
How many times and in how many different ways does it need to be reported that Mann is not an option for the NBA media to stop reporting it over and over again?! Genuinely, I’ve lost count of how many times there’s been the same iteration of well Sixers want Mann, Clippers say Mann is off limits, ergo stalemate. It’s the new Dame wants Miami, Portland doesn’t want anything Miami has to offer.
i wanna get the absolute best deal possible and I think no one is really beating a 2028 unprotected first for harden – but I also realize that the team probably is too guard heavy if they don’t swap mann for harden.
But also due to the CBA rules it seems the only way this trade works
is Harden + Tucker for Morris, Batum, Covington, Mann + 1st. Otherwise due to the new CBA it’s off by 200k-1m with just a 3 people coming from the clippers and no tucker. But then.. the clippers probably don’t want to take on tucker’s salary without some considerations either.
Serious question. What team other than the Clippers would want Harden? The Heat? Who are the Clippers bidding against here?
He’d be perfect for the clippers since neither of them are worth a shit when it matters.
At this point James has to be more than a little insulted. I understand he just wants to go to the Clippers but they seem to think they can get him for free.
Clippers are fucking clowns if this is true. Terrance Mann ain’t even good I feel like I’m losing my mind lmao
Welcome to Miami
The problem faced by the clippers is that they can’t over pay for Harden because if it’s not perfect for him, he’ll cry his way out of team #4.
Absolute poison.
Damn. Surprised they didn’t take that. But I’m also glad because I like the drama and seeing Harden pout
Looking back 10+ yrs ago this is crazy how he has fallen from Grace
You couldn’t pay me to take this bum on my team if I was a GM.
> James Harden quits on a team & torches them on his way out, Part 3.
Where’s Part 1 and 2? He gave the Rockets a bunch of assets for a rebuild, and gave BK Ben Simmons who they claim is back to his old self
I thought Mann was untouchable? 🤔
My flair might say otherwise, but I genuinely feel sorry for Embiid. He deserves better than this shitshow.
Sounds like the price is decreasing to me
HE can’t blame Philly for that one. That is a seriously low ask for Harden.
Mann and Maxey would actually be a really fun and complimentary backcourt. Just end this already.
