The Clippers and Knicks are expected to be among the teams that’ll engage with the Sixers on a potential James Harden trade, sources tell ESPN.
Fuck, recently became a Sixers fan and I’m regretting the decision.
Where are you from, and what made you choose Philly?
Born in the Bay, went to school in Philly for 5 years or so, and now am in Seattle. Have been a neutral for most of my life but have always had a soft spot for Philly sports teams.
speaking as someone who started following the sixers in 2013… you’re in for some disappointment

I’m also a Bengals fan, so I’ve been through my fair share of disappointment haha
It sucks it ended like it did, but I wish him the best wherever he goes. Hopefully the sixers can get something good for him :D
really weird decision by harden. You’d think this is his best chance to lock in a long term deal. Maybe he didn’t like the vibes his agent was getting around the market.
I’m not surprised to see him take his option. According to spotrac there’s only 5 teams under the cap and 7 teams with practical cap space so not a lot of possible suitors. He gets more money overall by waiting until next offseason to pursue a 2-3 year deal before retiring.
Harden: Can’t win with Embiid. Disappears in playoffs and then blame others for it.
