- James Harden returned to Philadelphia 76ers practice after a brief holdout, but he did not play in the loss to the Boston Celtics in the preseason opener and still wants a trade.
- According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Los Angeles Clippers, Harden’s preferred destination, want to complete a deal soon, but negotiations are not advanced and the Clippers appear to be the only interested team.
- The Clippers have reportedly offered a first-round pick, a pick swap and expiring contracts, but do not want to add another first-round pick and are instead exploring other uses for the 2028 pick.
- Daryl Morey said the 76ers would trade Harden only for a very good player or an asset of comparable value and would otherwise keep him.
If we don't get either a very good player or something we can turn into a very good player, we're just not going to do it.— Daryl Morey, Philadelphia 76ers' president of basketball operations, said on a Philadelphia radio station earlier this summer.
