Harden heading home in LA trade

After months of acrimony, James Harden finally got the move he requested, as the Philadelphia 76ers dealt him to the Los Angeles Clippers, multiple outlets reported late Monday night.

In terms of players involved, Philadelphia receives Nicolas Batum, Marcus Morris Sr, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin Jr, per the reports. According to ESPN, Los Angeles gets PJ Tucker and Filip Petrusev along with Harden, who was born and raised in LA.

Additionally, ESPN reported that the 76ers get an unprotected 2028 first-round pick, a pair of second-round picks and a pick swap. The Clippers will also give the 76ers a future first-round pick from a third team. The Sixers also will waive guard Danny Green to make salary-cap room for the new players coming in, according to ESPN.
