The chatter surrounding a potential James Harden trade to send the disgruntled star out of Philadelphia has cooled down of late. But the team he’s been linked to since the very early stages of his request, the Clippers, are making moves in the background to try to swing a deal for the 76ers guard, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Los Angeles is taking the approach of pursuing additional draft assets from other teams in order to improve the offer it can put together for Philadelphia, as Charania reported in The Athletic’s newsletter, The Bounce.
This comes on the heels of a report stating that the Sixers wanted Clippers guard Terance Mann and first-round picks, but that the fifth-year guard is considered untouchable, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
