James Harden Trade Reactions: Millionaire Comedian Not Worried, Reaffirms Lakers Faith With 3 Words

The Los Angeles Clippers have made a statement with the signing of James Harden. Owner Steve Ballmer’s insane wealth has made the Clippers a title favorite in the last couple of years. But due to unfortunate luck and injuries, they haven’t competed for top honors. The furthest they have progressed in the playoffs was in 2021 when they reached conference finals before losing to the Phoenix Suns.

The addition of Harden sends a clear message that the Clippers are determined to make a significant impact this season. With his arrival, many fans and analysts believe the Clippers have the potential to become the Western Conference’s top team. However, a celebrity fan has reaffirmed his Lakers’ affiliation with a three-word beat-down of the Clippers.

Lamorne Morris picks Lakers over Clippers

The protracted James Harden trade saga has finally concluded. As first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, the 76ers agreed to trade Harden to the LA Clippers early Tuesday morning. The Clippers traded away Marcus Morris, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, Kenyon Martin Jr., and draft picks for Harden, PJ Tucker, and Filip Petrušev.

Harden’s inclusion into an already formidable lineup consisting of superstars like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook has created a buzz around their title aspirations.

However, comedian and Lakers fan Lamorne Morris remains confident that the Lakers possess the firepower and talent needed to overcome this Clippers squad. He commented, “Lakers in 6” under Sportscenter’s post regarding the trade.

While the Clippers have put together a formidable core of players, but their health remains a big question mark. According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Harden is “ecstatic” to join the Clippers and could be at Crypto.com Arena for Tonight’s game.

What Will Harden Add to the Clippers?

James Harden, known for his signature style of play, is a versatile guard who excels at scoring and playmaking. His offensive prowess centers around his exceptional ball-handling skills, crafty dribbling moves, and basketball IQ. He is a master at drawing fouls and getting to the free-throw line.

For the Clippers, James Harden’s playmaking abilities hold greater significance than his scoring prowess. Since PG and Kawhi’s arrival in 2019, the Clippers have lacked an elite point guard good enough to orchestrate their offense. Last Season, Harden led the NBA in assists with 10.3 assists per game. The Clippers have to win an NBA title fast because they have traded away their future picks for superstars. If they don’t win a title, the future looks bleak for the Clippers and their fanbase.
