The Los Angeles Clippers and star guard James Harden are reportedly working together to find a trade destination ahead of this Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, according to @SportsCenter.
Among the teams showing significant interest in the former MVP are the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have emerged as serious suitors in the pursuit of the veteran playmaker. The collaboration between Harden and the Clippers front office indicates a mutual desire to resolve his status before the window for transactions closes later this week.
The Cavaliers, currently looking to strengthen their backcourt for a deep playoff run, are one of several teams monitoring the situation as the deadline looms. Harden's potential availability has immediately shifted the focus of the trade market, making him one of the most prominent figures to watch over the next 48 hours.
No official deal has been reached at this time, but discussions are expected to intensify as the Thursday deadline approaches. The Clippers have not yet specified the return they are seeking for the All-Star guard in any potential transaction.
