James Harden gets his way, traded to Clippers

The deal is James Harden and PJ Tucker to the Clippers and expiring contracts, two first round picks (one unprotected), one pick swap, and two 2nd rounders to Philly. Clippers get last season's assist leader and 10 time all-star and are able to hold on to Terance Mann.

This is another case of an NBA superstar (and Harden for the fourth time) pouting his way to a trade to a team of his choosing. The 76ers leverage was shot since Harden not only said he wouldn't play for Morey again in Philly, but also because of his insistence on being traded to the Clippers. No other team dared offering anything of quality for a player known to quit on teams when he doesn't want to be there.
