Throughout the course of their history, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> have always been in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers’</a> shadow. They haven’t exactly been a successful <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> franchise, as opposed to their hometown neighbors.



The Clippers have gone to great lengths to turn that around. They’ve put together some competitive squads as of late, and they’re now building their very own state-of-the-art arena.



But regardless of their efforts, L.A. continues to be all about the Lakers. In fact, Paul George recently revealed that they can’t even touch <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a>‘ workout gear when they’re in the weight room.



<h2>Paul George Talks About Being A Clipper In Los Angeles</h2>



“At Crypto [.com Arena], we share the space there; it’s a weird dynamic. I was telling them we’ll go in the weight room and Bron got his sh*t, we don’t touch his sh*t, logo’d out,” George said on his podcast.



“It feels like we’re the little bros over there, they treat us different,” he added. “The [Lakers’] sh*t is like upscale, so it’s just a weird dynamic, it’s a Lakers town. It’s funny to me like if I’m somewhere and they like ‘aww you should be a Laker’ or ‘come to L.A.’ and I’m like bro what?”

It’ll be a while before the Clippers can steal some of the Lakers’ fan base, if ever. But at the end of the day, the Purple and Gold will continue to be one of the most popular franchises on Earth.

Not so long ago, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> made one of the biggest moves in recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history, signing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kawhi-leonard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kawhi Leonard</a> and immediately trading for Paul George.



On paper, Steve Ballmer’s team looked poised to become the ultimate powerhouse in the Western Conference, even ahead of the likes of the Golden State Warriors.



But paper doesn’t win titles, and they’ve been hurt more often than they’ve been on the court. That’s why Brian Windhorst of ESPN doesn’t see a scenario where they get a big extension.



<h2>Kawhi Leonard And Paul George Won’t Get Big Contract Extensions</h2>



“I don’t think there’s any chance that those guys get four-year extensions,” Windhorst said. “They both can be free agents after next season because they have player options. There’s no chance that they’re getting extended four years. I would be stunned if they get extended four years. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t get extended, though. And that the Clippers won’t make an offer or even a multi-year offer.”



Notably, his ESPN colleague Stephen A. Smith echoed a similar sentiment. He pointed out how many games PG and Leonard have missed over the years, and how they’re pretty much a waste of money to the organization.



“You’ve missed 119 of 307 regular season games,” Smith said. “That’s 38 percent due to injuries. In that time span, you’ve earned $148.2 million in your career. $57.3 million of those money’s worth the games missed. Kawhi Leonard; he’s missed 147 of 308 regular season games. That’s 48 percent due to injuries, Kawhi’s earned $146.9 million in his career with the Clippers. About $70.8 million for games he’s missed. I don’t see the Clipper fans getting any refunds.”

This will be a controversial matter for months to come, and we wouldn’t be shocked to see both of them tangled up in countless trade rumors until their situations get settled, if ever.

Brian Windhorst has terrible news for Clippers stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George - Bolavip US

It wasn’t long before <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden">James Harden</a> let the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a> know that he wanted out. The Beard submitted a trade request ahead of the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season, and he reportedly desires to join the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers">Los Angeles Clippers</a>.



It makes sense, since he could have a legitimate chance to succeed next to Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook. Harden is not getting any younger, and his championship window could close soon.



Despite his intentions, there has been no progress in trade conversations as the Sixers’ demands seem to be too high for the guard’s suitors. However, the Clippers don’t look that interested in him anyway.



<h2>Clippers have no rush in trading for Harden</h2>



“Even the Clippers, Harden’s preferred destination, have been fairly unserious about what they’re willing to give up in order to acquire him,” Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice reports. “The prevailing sentiment seems to be that Harden is still valued, but on the team’s terms, which is a shift from the franchise-defining clout Harden had at his peak.”

This may not be great news for Harden, who seems to have made up his mind despite the Sixers’ willingness to keep him for at least another year. Maybe it’s just a matter of time before he finally leaves, but right now, it’s hard to tell.

NBA Rumors: Clippers may not want James Harden so badly

NBA Rumors: Clippers may not want James Harden so badly - Bolavip US

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bulls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Chicago Bulls</a> have unsuccessfully tried to put together a winning roster. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> analysts and fans believe they should shake things up and move either Zach LaVine or DeMar DeRozan for depth pieces.



Notably, they would be wiser to try and build around the younger star, making DeRozan the likeliest trade candidate. Even at his age, he should still gauge plenty of interest.



With that in mind, Bleacher Report’s NBA staff put together an interesting mock trade to send him to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> in return for depth pieces and a first-round draft pick.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Bulls Could Send DeRozan To The Clippers</h2>



(Via Bleacher Report)



“L.A. Clippers acquire DeMar DeRozan from the Chicago Bulls for Norman Powell, Robert Covington, Amir Coffey and a 2028 first-round pick (protected 1-4).“



“We’ve spent the better part of two years wringing our hands over the Clippers’ lack of a backcourt playmaker. They’ve long needed one of those to ease the shot-creation load on Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. But who says that job has to go to a conventional point guard?”



“DeRozan has averaged over 5.0 assists per game in five of his last six seasons (a streak interrupted by a 4.9-per-game figure in 2021-22), and his ability to pull in help defenders as he gets into his mid-range bag serves the same purpose as a standard pick-and-roll point guard. DeRozan would get highly exploitable matchups with teams using their toughest defenders on George and Leonard, and he could easily operate as a facilitator or overpowering on-on-one scorer.”



“If Chicago wants to extract some value for DeRozan’s expiring contract before potentially losing him for nothing, this is a solid return. Powell is under contract for two more years after this one and could easily be flipped for another first-rounder, and Covington’s money comes off the books next summer. Coffey and an intriguing 2028 pick that could pay off if the Clips crater in the second half of this decade should be enough to get this done.”

Over the past couple of seasons, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-westbrook" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Westbrook</a> has been overlooked and mistreated by most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> fan bases, mostly during his tenure with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers.</a>



Westbrook was often scapegoated and blamed for everything that went wrong in Southern California. Even if he showed up to play and was the second-best player on the team in his first season.



Fortunately for him, he found his footing next to Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. That’s why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> coach Tyronn Lue tipped his hat off to him for his effort and was thankful to have him back on the team.



<h2>Tyronn Lue Praises ‘Savior’ Russell Westbrook</h2>



“I love Russ. From Day 1,” Lue said. “He’s a tough dude, tough-minded. What he did for our season, him, Plumlee, Bones, and Eric Gordon, what Russ did coming in the last 20 games of the season, he saved us.”



“PG goes down and he went to another level,” continued Lue. “I love him; we got a great relationship. I can be real with him, he can be real with him. All he wants is the truth.”

Obviously, Westbrook’s heroics weren’t enough to keep the ship afloat without their two best players. Still, it’s nice to know that he’s finally given the praise and recognition he deserves as a future Hall of Famer.

Tyronn Lue makes strong revelation about Russell Westbrook - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers">Los Angeles Clippers</a> seem to have everything to succeed. On paper, Tyronn Lue‘s roster looks strong enough to challenge for an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> championship. But the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paul-george">Paul George</a> and Kawhi Leonard duo has so far left much to be desired.



Last season, both stars failed to show up when it mattered the most, leaving Russell Westbrook alone trying to keep the playoff hopes alive. Therefore, something has to change in LA.



In an appearance on ‘All the Smoke,’ the Clippers head coach addressed the team’s lack of consistency throughout the regular season, noting that it’s something they have to work on.



<h2>Tyronn Lue told Paul George, Kawhi Leonard to take regular season more seriously</h2>



“One thing I told Kawhi and PG this summer, like we do gotta approach the regular season a different way… Let’s be serious about it. Let’s not wait until the playoffs, because it matters,” Lue said, via Sports Illustrated. 



“Who you get matched up with, having home court advantage, not fighting the last 10 games of the season so we won’t be in the play-in. So now you can get rest, now you can get yourself together and be ready for the playoffs. So they both understood that.“

Lue has a fair point. Even when you know you’re making the postseason, underestimating the regular season can prove costly. If the Clippers stars stay healthy and deliver more consistently, then they could make it to the playoffs with more strength.

But as shocking and impactful as that move was, that might not be the only blockbuster deal new GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. does before the start of the 2023-24 NBA season.



According to Bleacher Report’s NBA staff, Steve Kerr and company could look to bolster their roster even more by flipping Paul for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> two-way star Paul George.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Trade For Paul George</h2>



(Transcript via Bleacher Report)



“Golden State Warriors acquire Paul George from the L.A. Clippers for Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and top-10 protected first-round picks in 2026 and 2028.



(…) Assuming George would be more than a rental, the Dubs can easily justify giving up two of their only remaining young pieces and picks along with Paul.



Though CP3 should curb the turnover issues that have plagued Golden State, it’s up for debate whether he makes sense in the closing lineup. No such uncertainty would exist with George, who’d slot in next to Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green in what would easily be the league’s most dangerous five-man unit.



Of course, the Clippers’ willingness to consider such a deal would depend on their own intel and feelings on George’s next contract. If they’re not keen on spending big to keep him, it would make sense to flip him for the cap relief Paul’s non-guaranteed 2024-25 salary brings, plus all the other assets Golden State is shoving across the table.”

Trading for George will always come with health risks, and they would hate to give up even more young players. Then again, he’s still one of the best two-way players on Earth, and he’d give them a huge boost for their title aspirations.

Warriors could land Paul George in wild trade - Bolavip US

It took only a year and a half for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden">James Harden</a> to request a trade out of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a>, who made an effort to get him in February 2022. According to reports, the 10x <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> All-Star wants to join the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers">Los Angeles Clippers</a>.



In the West Coast, The Beard would team up with the likes of Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook. Thus, it makes sense that the idea of being part of a superteam persuades him.



Harden has struggled to perform when it mattered the most in Philly so far, but his departure would still take a toll on the team’s title aspirations. Besides, he could take another player away from the Sixers to join him in LA.



<h2>Rumor: Clippers could land PJ Tucker</h2>



According to NBA insider Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Los Angeles Clippers could trade for veteran forward PJ Tucker, who was also a teammate of James Harden at the Houston Rockets:



“PJ Tucker, Harden’s longtime teammate with the Rockets and Sixers, has come up in trade discussions between the 76ers and Clippers, league sources told HoopsHype. The Clippers covet Tucker’s ability to guard multiple positions and defend the league’s top opposing scorers. Tucker is owed $11 million this upcoming year and has a $11.54 million player option for the 2024-25 season.



It’s worth noting Harden previously took less money to give Philadelphia added financial flexibility to pry Tucker away from the Heat in free agency in July of 2022. When Harden did so, many around the league assumed Sixers executive Daryl Morey – who’s previously been Harden’s biggest advocate – would take care of his star player financially down the line, which hasn’t happened. Current negotiations have since led to a “fractured” relationship between Harden and Morey, per Shams Charania.”



Many believe Harden’s departure from Philadelphia is a matter of when, not if. Chances are that, if traded, his next team will be the Clippers. If he takes PJ Tucker with him, then we may have a strong candidate for the title in LA.

NBA Rumors: Sixers could lose another player besides James Harden to the Clippers - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden</a> wanted to test free agency waters, and it backfired. He’s no longer a top-notch <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> player, and with not that much interest in meeting his financial aspirations, he had no choice but to opt in on the final year of his contract with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers.</a>



Harden did so in an attempt to get traded, but Sixers GM Daryl Morey — who was one of his closest friends — had a different plan in mind. Simply put, he doesn’t want to give him up.



That’s why Shams Charania reports that Harden’s relationship with Morey is no more, adding that the former MVP is still determined to force his way to the Los Angeles Clippers next season.



<h2>Harden Is Livid At The Sixers</h2>



“The relationship between James Harden and Daryl Morey is essentially severed; it’s essentially fractured throughout this process,” Charania said. “There’s no longer that vow of open-ended trust that we’ve seen over the course of 692 games that Daryl Morey and James Harden have been together.”



“When James Harden opted in, the decision to work together on a trade stemmed from James Harden believing that there was no real intention from the Sixers on giving him a long-term offer,” added Charania. “So everyone around the Sixers, they know he’s been incredibly unnerved about how the team has handled his potential free agency and we’ve seen how James Harden can come into camp when he’s disgruntled– right now, Harden is where he’s been for the last few weeks. He wants a trade and he wants a trade to the Clippers. Rival teams that I’ve spoken to still say that’s the path for the Sixers to go down but it’s gonna come down to those two teams engaging.”



<h2>Harden Wants To Play With Westbrook Again</h2>



Moreover, Clippers insider Joey Linn recently shed some light on Harden’s desire to play for the team, stating that he’s actually looking forward to teaming up with Russell Westbrook again.



“For what it’s worth, I’ve been told that James Harden’s desire to be traded to the Clippers was made even stronger once they officially re-signed Russell Westbrook. The two are still very close, and Harden wants to play with Russ again,” tweeted Linn.

The true reason why James Harden wants to play for the Clippers - Bolavip US

The 2022-23 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season is part of the past and many teams in the West are already looking to dethrone Denver next year. While the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers">Los Angeles Clippers</a> seem to bet on their current talent to do so, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> have been making moves to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>.



The Dubs shocked everyone by trading Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul, before tying Draymond Green to a massive extension and making a few more signings in the open market.



While now things are quieter in the Bay area, it’s not a secret that the front office was busy in the last few weeks trying to improve around Steph. In fact, they reportedly targeted a Houston Rockets player who eventually joined the Clippers.



<h2>Rumor: Warriors monitored KJ Martin</h2>



According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors considered making a move for Kenyon Martin Jr. before the Houston Rockets traded him to the Los Angeles Clippers:



“The Warriors explored the idea of trading for KJ Martin early in the free agency process, league and team sources told The Athletic. The Rockets were rearranging their roster and made the athletic young wing available via trade. The Warriors could have fit him on the roster through the trade exception created when Patrick Baldwin Jr. was sent to Washington, but discussions never reached the final stages.”

" title="Warriors sign former NBA champion as Stephen Curry backup" publication_id="BUS#20230704#BUS#22667"></div>


The forward was entering the final season of his four-year, $6.1 million contract, which is why Houston was expected to move him at some point this offseason. Either way, the Warriors still managed to improve their roster and now have only two empty spots.

When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden</a> decided to opt in on the final year of his deal with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers,</a> he did it with the sole purpose of finding himself another team. It would be his fourth <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> team in as many years.



Given his age, history of injuries, and well-documented off-court activities, the market for the former MVP isn’t as big as it used to be back in the day. Also, it’s not like he balled out in the playoffs.

Even so, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers </a>are reportedly adamant about acquiring him in a trade. Nonetheless, Zach Lowe of ESPN recently revealed that they won’t give up Terance Mann or Norman Powell to get him.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Clippers Won’t Give Up Depth To Get James Harden</h2>



“I just don’t think there’s a lot out there for James Harden,” Lowe said. “I just don’t sense that there’s a big appetite among teams to trade Philadelphia real stuff. I don’t think the Knicks are super interested in James Harden. If they could get him on the ultra, ultra cheap, that’s one thing.”



“I don’t know that Philly wants to do that,” added Lowe. “The Clippers, from what I’ve heard, they have been reluctant so far to offer Mann, picks, maybe even Powell, and I don’t know that the two sides have really even had super significant dialogue. And I don’t really know what you do from there.”

Truth be told, it’s going to be almost impossible to land Harden unless they give up those players, unless they’re willing to give up Paul George or Kawhi Leonard. Then again, we’ve seen crazier things happen in this league.

Clippers have made a decision about James Harden - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers">Los Angeles Clippers</a> decided to waive Eric Gordon in a crucial moment for the franchise just before the start of free agency. In a period full of amazing trade in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a>, all teams are on the move. 



Considering Los Angeles have a roster which includes names like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the move was much needed to save at least $100 million on the tax bill. Furthermore, if they want to also keep Russell Westbrook, this seemed to be a no-brainer. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/chris-paul-has-a-message-for-stephen-curry-after-being-traded-to-warriors-20230623-BUS-16295.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230623_BUS_16295_chrispaul-1.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Chris Paul will have one last shot to win a championship with the Warriors.

However, though Eric Gordon’s decision could primarily economic, there might be a catch. If <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden">James Harden</a> is open to a trade from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a>, the Clippers could be all-in.



<h2>Will the Clippers sign James Harden?</h2>



In the case of Eric Gordon, the decision means the Clippers will not guarantee the $21 million contract for the player and he will become a free agent. Of course, this opens the door for a possible trade with the Sixers if James Harden is indeed available. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="SEO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/james-harden-confirms-shocking-decision-about-his-future-with-sixers-20230629-BUS-20340.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230629_BUS_20340_jamesharden.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers have made a historic decision about the star&apos;s future with the team.

Harden exercised his $35.6 million option for the 2023-24 season. As a consequence, the next step for the Sixers will be definitely a trade as Harden didn’t consider declining the option to become a free agent.&nbsp;

Even if he struggled a bit at the beginning, Russ quickly settled in next to Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, eventually putting the team on his back when the duo got injured in the playoffs.



Now, Westbrook is set to become a free agent. While many expect him to be back in LA next season, Mark Medina of The Sporting Tribune reports that the Clippers may not be able to afford the 9x All-Star.



<h2>Russell Westbrook may get a bigger salary outside Los Angeles</h2>



“Will that recent history be enough to back up both parties’ sentiments with actual actions? Westbrook would love to stay in his hometown with an organization that made him feel comfortable, but the Clippers can only pay him up $3.8 million to stay,” Medina wrote. “Other NBA executives around the league believe Westbrook could still attract offers worth $10-$15 million per season.



“The Clippers may not have offered that money even if they had the space. Despite gushing about how Westbrook upgraded the point-guard position, the Clippers still tried to acquire Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon last week only for the deal to fall through after becoming concerned with his injury history.”

Westbrook has revitalized his career after a very disappointing time with the Lakers, so he will probably draw a lot of interest in the open market. He clearly felt happy at the Clippers, but we’ll have to wait and see whether that’s enough to make him stay.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers </a>signed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kawhi-leonard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kawhi Leonard</a> and traded for Paul George and instantly became one of the teams to beat in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a>. But thus far, that hasn’t translated into a lot of success.



On paper, they have arguably the best duo of two-way players in the league, but they’re constantly hurt, and have failed to even reach the NBA Finals because of that.



That’s why Zach Lowe of ESPN reports that the Clippers are unlikely to sign them to a contract extension in the next couple of months, and that could fuel even more <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/knicks-are-a-realistic-destination-for-paul-george-20230626-BUS-18116.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trade rumors around PG-13.</a>



<h2>Clippers May Not Give Kawhi Leonard And Paul George A Contract Extension</h2>



“The biggest subplot in the NBA that not enough people are talking about is Paul George and Kawhi Leonard with the Clippers, being extension eligible” Lowe said. “In Kawhi’s case in July. I think in Paul George’s case in September.”



“Because I just don’t think, based on what I’ve heard, that if those guys walk in the door and ask for four-year max extensions, I don’t think the Clippers are just giving them to them,“ Lowe added.



Now, whether they’ll look to trade them or will work out a new contract with a hometown discount remains to be seen, but it seems like this could be the beginning of the end of this era.

For months,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> James Harden’s</a> future with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> has been a talking point around <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> circles. Even at this point in his career, he should still gauge some interest as a free agent.



Harden is expected to decline his player option for the upcoming campaign, thus becoming an unrestricted free agent. Even so, not many teams will be willing to meet his reported salary pretensions.



That’s why, according to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-rockets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Houston Rockets</a> are no longer interested in a reunion with him, as Harden isn’t interested in taking any sort of pay cut.



<h2>Rockets No Longer Want James Harden</h2>



“In recent days, I’ve understood that Houston is no longer an option for James,” Iko said. “I would call them out of the running. From the Rockets’ perspective, that makes sense, too, considering James was never interested in taking some kind of discount – not two years in a row. He made, what, $34-35 million this year? He could stand to make 50 to 52. He was not going to take a discount, and the Rockets were never going to pay him that kind of max money.”

<h2>Clippers Are A New Dark Horse For Harden}</h2>



And now that the Rockets are no longer in the mix for his services, the insider points out that the Los Angeles Clippers could be another team to look out for in his sweepstakes:



“Another team that I’ve heard recently that is a dark horse, that’s kind of watching the situation is actually the Los Angeles Clippers,” Iko said. “Phoenix, the Bradley Beal trade took them out of the equation.”

Even so, the Clippers will have to figure out what to do with either Paul George and/or Kawhi Leonard before even thinking of making a run at Harden, which obviously makes it more difficult.
