Still Optimistic About Clippers? Move, James Harden Could Be Forced to Join Michael Jordan?s Ex-team Replacing $215,159,700 Rich Superstar

As the teams are settling with their rosters for the new NBA season. The rumor mill is churning with some potential blockbuster trades left that could reshape many teams. Jordan?s Chicago Bulls has been in a tough sport. The Bulls have been wishing for a championship since 1998. They are rebuilding and they desperately need a bigger star than DeMar DeRozan.?

On the other hand, things have become difficult for the Philly 76ers too. After briefly playing in the team, James Harden has declined the contract extension and has entered the unrestricted free agency. His name has been linked to many potential teams, including Harden?s ex-team the Clippers. If the trade happens between the Philly and the Bulls, that would have consequences for both of them.?

The Trade Proposal between Philly and the Bulls?

NBA writer Andy Bailey has made a trade list for every team that could potentially happen a month before the season officially kicks off. The proposed trade would involve the 76ers sending James Harden and Furkan Korkmaz, along with a 2029 first-round pick, to the Bulls for $215,159,700 rich Zach LaVine.

For the 76ers, this trade could potentially solve several issues. Firstly, it would put an end to the ongoing drama surrounding James Harden. Harden has made it clear that he is unhappy with the 76ers and has publicly expressed his desire to be traded. His public feud with Philly president Daryl Morey is even more embarrassing since Harden also pronounced that he wouldn?t play for Morey ever again. By trading him away, the 76ers would not only rid themselves of this distraction but also acquire a player of LaVine?s caliber in return.

LaVine, over the last four seasons, has averaged 25.5 points with a 55.8 effective field-goal percentage. Playing alongside Joel Embiid, who commands a lot of attention inside, LaVine?s efficiency could potentially improve even further.?

The implications for Bulls, LaVine, Korkmaz and Harden

For the Bulls, this trade could potentially kick-start a much-needed rebuild. Trading LaVine would not only provide them with an expiring contract in Harden, which ends at least two years earlier than LaVine?s, but also a first-round pick to bolster their rebuild.

Furthermore, this could also be a wonderful opportunity for Furkan Korkmaz. Despite his request for a trade, Korkmaz has remained with the 76ers. This trade could provide him with a fresh start and an opportunity to earn another NBA contract.

As for Harden, he still has to report to the Philly training camp. He has admitted his

desire to go back to the Clippers and win a championship with a close friend Kawhi Leonard. In any case, it would be a win-win situation for both Harden and Philly, but we will have to wait and see.
