Windhorst disclosed “[The Clippers] tried to trade for James Harden, and that deal didn’t happen. And from what I understand, it was the Clippers who said, ‘Okay, there’s no deal here. We’re gonna move on.’ And while I assume that they could certainly make a deal midseason, I assume that this is what they’re gonna go with.”?

The Philadelphia 76ers have made a strategic move by signing veteran Danny Green to a one-year deal. While this move bolsters their perimeter shooting options, it also brings a “veteran voice” into a locker room facing uncertainty, particularly with James Harden’s desire to potentially be traded.

Green’s championship experience, maturity, and familiarity with trade sagas are seen as assets. He was a part of the team that dealt with the Ben Simmons trade for Harden. So he might be able to help stabilize the current tense environment in Philadelphia.

While Danny Green’s impact on the court will be valuable, it’s his potential off-the-court influence will play a crucial role in determining James Harden’s future with the team. The hope is that, with seasoned voices like Green’s, Harden may reconsider and commit to the Sixers for at least one more season in pursuit of a championship.
