If there were ever a “best way” to take an ugly situation and pile right on top of it, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski may have inadvertently found it. Amid the 76ers’ pursuit (or lack thereof) of a trade to send disgruntled guard James Harden out of town, there’s been very little buzz or chatter surrounding his future or any potential deal.
But while Damian Lillard, the Blazers and the Bucks have made headlines for the blockbuster trade pulled off last week, it seems we’re on the very opposite end of being anywhere close to Philly being able to use the word “blockbuster” as it relates to talks on Harden.
And as Wojnarowski reported on ESPN’s NBA Today on YouTube, not only is there “not a trade out there that keeps the Sixers in championship contention,” but he also explained that there’s less interest in a deal for Harden than there was when Philadelphia traded Ben Simmons in 2021.
