James Harden‘s anticipated trade to the LA Clippers from the Philadelphia 76ers has unexpectedly run into financial difficulties. It is leading the player to choose to sign with the Sixers through the last year of his contract. Unfortunately, the Clippers’ proposals have fallen short of the Sixers’ expectations, putting a pause on Harden’s trade.

The Sixers’ president of basketball operations, Daryl Morey, publicly accepted Harden’s request for a trade. However, most recently, Harden shocked the NBA community when he called Morey a “liar“. And following his comment about Morey, his 38-year-old teammate got cryptic on Instagram, sending NBA fans into a frenzy.
