Everything from start to finish about James Harden's eventual trade to the Clippers was a unique and at times, head-scratching ordeal to watch play out. While Harden is coming off an extremely strong season with the 76ers, there reportedly was very little interest in him on the trade market, with the exception being the team he's now set to join in Los Angeles.
That lack of trade interest, which former NBA general manager Ryan McDonough believes came after a lack of free agency interest, has led to questions about the guard's NBA future as well. And in the eyes of the ex-Suns' GM, Harden has to make sure things work with the Clippers, or it could lead to an abrupt ending to his career.
"I think for Harden, individually, there's not a lot of interest. The majority of teams do not want him at any price, even a non-guaranteed minimum, where he'd have to earn it," McDonough said on SiriusXM NBA Radio.
