According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the 76ers and Clippers began to talk again on a James Harden deal this weekend. Harden had previously requested a trade from the 76ers.
He had not played for the team since the beginning of the season. Last week a report came out that Harden was not allowed to join the team on a plane to Milwaukee.
The 34-year-old Harden joins his fifth NBA team in his career. He spent parts of two seasons with the 76ers.
He also played for the Brooklyn Nets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Houston Rockets. Last season, Harden averaged 21 points per game.
Now, Harden joins a star-studded Clippers roster that also includes Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.
Batum, who is also 34, will be joining his fourth NBA team. He spent part of the last four seasons with the Clippers. He also played for the Portland Trail Blazers and Charlotte Hornets.
