James Harden’s wish has come true.
After vowing in the summer not to play for Daryl Morey ever again, Harden is finally headed to the Clippers—the only team that was on his list after he demanded a trade in the offseason. Philadelphia will acquire forwards Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington and Marcus Morris in the move, as well as guard Kenyon Martin Jr., a 2028 first-round pick, two second-round picks, a pick swap, and a future first from a third team, per ESPN. In addition to Harden, P.J. Tucker is also headed to Los Angeles.
Harden, 34, won MVP in 2018. He averaged 21.0 points and 10.7 assists per game last season. He has not appeared in a game yet so far this year.
