The Clippers traded James Harden to the Cavaliers this week for Darius Garland. On Friday ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne published a story about how it doesn’t really sound like either side wanted to part ways. Harden wanted to play in Los Angeles, the team really liked him and they were winning and yet here we are.
According to Shelburne, the team’s horrific 6–21 start started the dominoes in motion and not even a 15–3 hot streak that resulted in a fan literally eating a tweet could stop it. Shelburne reports that both Harden and the team seemed to feel that run was fool’s gold so they decided to amicably part ways.
