The Los Angeles Clippers are pursuing additional draft assets from other teams in order to improve their offer to the Philadelphia 76ers for James Harden, according to NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Harden has requested a trade from the Sixers to the Clippers and Los Angeles stars Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook want the Clippers to acquire Harden, league sources told NBA Analysis Network.
The Sixers agreed to search out a trade upon Harden’s request after Harden picked up his $35.6 million player option for this season in June. However, Philadelphia’s asking price for Harden is steep and no teams have been able to meet it yet.
