Although James Harden has reportedly reiterated his trade request to the 76ers‘ front office, there may be a “path to reconciliation” between the 10-time All-Star and Philadelphia.
Harden and the Sixers have been working on finding a trade partner since June. Though the Clippers have emerged as a possible suitor, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne reported that conversations with 76ers players may be able to sway the 33-year-old into possibly giving it another go with the team.
“There is a sense that if they can give it some time and he’s cool with his teammates, he’s been talking to Joel Embiid, he’s been talking to Patrick Beverley, PJ Tucker, that eventually maybe those fences can be mended, and there is a path to reconciliation with James Harden—but, for now, he has reiterated his trade request,” Shelburne said on ESPN’s NBA Today.
