James Harden’s pathetic no-show against the Heat has fans wondering if a trade request is coming
The Los Angeles Clippers are fighting, to put it mildly. No one knows that reality better than their veteran point guard, James Harden.
On Monday, their record continued to slide as they are now 5-16 after losing 140-123 to the Miami Heat. In addition, Harden it didn’t work well at all. He scored just 11 points in 20 minutes and finished with a -39 rating, according to ESPN.
As a result, Clippers fans are jumping in to question whether the organization will seek to trade him in second place amid speculation that Harden himself wants out. in fact some wonder whether Harden wants to return to his old stomping ground, Philadelphia, and play for the 76ers again, according to Sixers Latham.
One Timberwolves fan, a huge Naz Reid fan, said I would be happy to send it to make room for Harden.
“Yeah as a naz fan I’ll trade him for harden” @NazReidIsGoated posted on Ks.
Another chimed in, calling out Harden’s lack of shooting is a sign that trade is coming.
“The good thing is that Harden has stopped shooting, so that means he’s going to check out and ask for a trade.”
Then another fan posted a reminder around December 15, when players are eligible for trade. Lastly, they said Harden, Kris Dunn and John Collins are out of LA.
“They can’t trade until 12/15, so this is the team they have. I guess Dunn, Collins and Harden are gone.”
The James Harden situation is just one of many problems hanging over the Clippers
There are only twenty or so games into the season, and the Clippers are plagued by problems on and off the court.
On the field, their poor record speaks for itself, along with injuries and an aging roster. Bradley Beal is out for the season due to a hip injury requiring surgery. Kawhi Leonard trying to come back from a recent ankle and foot injury.
Off the field, Leonard is the subject of an NBA investigation whether he and his team tried to circumvent the salary cap to secure lucrative endorsements from the now-defunct Aspiration company.
Also, Harden was sued for negligence after his nephew was accused of sexual assault over the summer.
