While NBA fans had been awaiting the news drop on a potential James Harden trade for weeks, or even months now, there’s a good chance most were asleep when it finally came. The reported trade that will send the 76ers guard to the Clippers was first reported just after 2 a.m. EST by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Understandably, the late-night East Coast fans and the West Coasters still awake were left completely stunned. The late-night "Woj Bomb" is always a possibility, but no one was ready for what transpired after it.
The terms of the deal weren’t reported until roughly 40 minutes later, leaving everyone to anxiously await the details while fighting the urge to sleep.
