In a stunning development, the Knicks were listed among the Clippers as teams that plan to get involved with the superstar guard who has opted into the last year of his contract with the 76ers, who will then move him,Considering the Knicks already have a ball-dominant lead guard in Jalen Brunson, it comes as a major surprise that they would be interested in the 33-year-old Harden — a shaky defender and high-volume scorer.
Yahoo Sports reported that the Clippers and 76ers have been in contact this week about potential trades. Harden, of course, played for the Nets on a star-studded team with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, but that didn’t work out nearly as well as envisioned and he was traded to Philadelphia. The 76ers failed to reach the conference finals in two years with Harden, and now he is looking elsewhere to continue his All-Star career.
