Following years of trade speculation, Buddy Hield, one of the best shooters in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a>, is finally up for grabs. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indiana-pacers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indiana Pacers</a> have officially made the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sacramento-kings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sacramento Kings</a> shooting guard available for trade.



While not a plus-defender, Hield is a walking bucket from all three levels, and his ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc ranks among the most prominent in the game.



Hield’s three-point shooting will grant him plenty of suitors around the league. With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of the three most logical destinations for him right now.



<h2>3 Potential Landing Spots For Buddy Hield</h2>



Los Angeles Lakers: The Los Angeles Lakers already made some big moves this offseason, but the team could get even better with this addition. Having him backing up Austin Reaves could do wonders for Darvin Ham’s team, not to mention that he’d be their best three-point shooter right away.



Brooklyn Nets: The Brooklyn Nets don’t want to tank right now, and they need to find as many mid-level talent guys as they can. That’s why Buddy Hield is a perfect fit for what they need, and he could both start or come off the bench for Jacque Vaughn’s team.



Philadelphia 76ers: Last but not least, the Philadelphia 76ers could use more firepower, especially if they lose James Harden. He could provide a solid scoring punch off the bench, which is something they’ve lacked whenever Tyrese Maxey hasn’t started.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> have been trying to make it to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> Finals for the first time in franchise history for a while. But not even Kawhi Leonard has been able to end their drought.



Either he or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paul-george" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paul George</a> — or both — have been hurt in the playoffs, thus hurting their chances to compete at the highest level. And that may not change any time soon.



That’s why they could look to end their tenure in Los Angeles and rely upon another star, such as Joel Embiid. According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, both Leonard and George could consider signing with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers.</a>



<h2>Sixers Could Steal One Clippers Star</h2>



“Philadelphia right now has positioned itself to be a big free-agent player,” said Windhorst. “They could swoop in and go after Paul or Kawhi. While they prefer LA, a move to Philly might not be the worst for them.”



The Sixers are also looking forward to getting over the hump. They haven’t been able to get past the second round of the playoffs, and coach Nick Nurse might be just what they need to change that.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230918#BUS#64569"></div>


Of course, adding another elite two-way player like George or Leonard to that mix would only make them better, especially considering they’re almost a lock to lose James Harden at some point.

ESPN: Sixers could get Kawhi Leonard or Paul George

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden</a> doesn’t want to play for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> anymore. And if the past has taught us anything, it is that Harden can force his way out of any <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> market, regardless of how long it takes.



Nonetheless, he’s facing a bit of an uphill battle right now. Sixers GM Daryl Morey is stubborn and has always stayed his ground when it comes to not making moves he doesn’t want to make.



Harden reportedly wants to play for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a>, and even held talks with some of their stars. However, Brian Windhorst of ESPN reported that the Clippers are no longer interested in trading for him.



<h2>Clippers Won’t Try To Trade For James Harden</h2>



“(The Clippers) tried to trade for James Harden, and that deal didn’t happen,” Windhorst said on The Hoops Collective. “And from what I understand, it was the Clippers who said, ‘Okay, there’s no deal here. We’re gonna move on.’”



Reports show that the Clippers have been reluctant to meet Morey’s steep asking price for the former MVP, which makes sense, considering he’s entering the final year of his contract.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230912#BUS#61509"></div>


Harden also has a long-withstanding history of not living up to the expectations in the playoffs, getting hurt, and a questionable work ethic. That’s why he’s likely stuck in Philadelphia until the end of the season.

NBA Rumors: Clippers make final decision about James Harden

NBA Rumors: Clippers make final decision about James Harden - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden</a> have reached a stalemate. He doesn’t want to be a part of the team anymore, but no other <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> side seems willing to meet Daryl Morey’s asking price for his services.



With that in mind, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley believes there’s a team that could make sense as a potential destination for Harden, assuming Morey changes his stance and grants him the right to be traded.



Should that be the case, then we should keep an eye on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phoenix Suns </a>and a potential reunion with Kevin Durant. Of course, that would cost them Bradley Beal and some other parts.



<h2>Suns Could Land James Harden In Bradley Beal Trade</h2>



(via Bleacher Report)



“The Trade: Beal, a 2024 second-round pick (via DEN), a 2028 second-round pick (via MEM) and a 2029 second-round pick (via MEM) to the Philadelphia 76ers for James Harden and P.J. Tucker



If the Suns wound up shopping Beal, they’d almost certainly be looking for a star. They’ve already splurged on two (Beal and Kevin Durant), and they clearly think stacking them is the key to delivering the franchise’s first NBA title.



Phoenix has been identified as a possible Harden suitor before, and you could make the case his playmaking ability would have more impact than Beal’s scoring, since both would functionally fill third-option roles behind Durant and Kevin Booker.



The Suns could also get Tucker in the deal, both to make the money work and to address some of their depth issues on the wing.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230912#BUS#61494"></div>


Of course, this would only happen if Frank Vogel and the Suns fail to make the most of Beal’s skills and they realized they’d be better off with a more ‘traditional’ playmaker instead.

Despite having a plethora of<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a> talent and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> coach Steve Kerr, Team USA failed to get the job done, not even winning a medal in the FIBA Basketball World Cup.



That’s why LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and many other stars are reportedly looking forward to committing and playing in the upcoming Olympics to lead the nation back to the top.



However, they might need to ‘steal’ some help from other teams, which is why they’re reportedly pursuing Philadelphia 76ers star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joel-embiid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joel Embiid,</a> who had committed to play for France first.



<h2>Team USA Recruiting Joel Embiid</h2>



“The prospect of persuading reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid to A.) play in an international tournament; and B.) do so for Team USA instead of Team France, remains in play,” reported The Athletic.



Of course, Embiid has often struggled with his health, and there have been reports about his workout and eating habits as well, so maybe he might not be interested in staying busy during his vacation.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230911#BUS#61030"></div>


But adding a guy like Embiid would be just what Team USA need to get over this hump, as big men are crucial in FIBA Basketball, and he’s the second-best big in the league right now.

There’s absolutely no denying that<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joel-embiid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Joel Embiid</a> is one of the most talented and impactful players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA.</a> With or without<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> James Harden,</a> he’s been a legit MVP candidate for quite a while.



However, he hasn’t been able to lead his team past the second round of the playoffs, and that’s despite the Sixers organization surrounding him with plenty of talent.



That’s why former Sixth Man of the Year Eddie Johnson believes new <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> coach Nick Nurse needs to hold him accountable to motivate him to be at his best next season.



<h2>Joel Embiid Needs To Be Held Accountable, Says Eddie Johnson</h2>



“I think Joel has to stand up and accept everything because he’s getting everything. So if he’s mad about that, I applaud Nick Nurse for putting that out there. Look, dude, you can’t get out of the second round,“ Johnson said on SiriusXM NBA Radio.



“All the stuff you’ve done, you still can’t get out of the second round,” he continued. “So I’m gonna tell you how you can. I think that’s what Joel Embiid needs, he needs to be stimulated.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230908#BUS#59868"></div>


At the end of the day, Embiid has always accepted his wrongdoings, but he’s also thrown some teammates under the bus. He’s been given a lot, so now it’s time he gives them back.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden</a> has burned every single bridge he’s crossed throughout his career in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a>. He’s made life hell for every team he’s played for since leaving Oklahoma, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> aren’t the exception to that rule.



Harden is determined to force his way out of the City of Brotherly Love. He reportedly believes he can still be an alpha dog, even though that has never led him to postseason success.



That led to some concerns about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joel-embiid">Joel Embiid’s</a> eventual desire to leave the team as well. However, ESPN’s Ramona Shelbourne reports that the reigning MVP is unmoved by Harden’s current situation.



<h2>Joel Embiid Is Unmoved By James Harden’s Situation</h2>



“Thus far, Embiid has given the franchise assurances he is OK riding out the current drama with Harden, sources said,” Shelbourne said. “How long he gives them to resolve the matter remains to be seen.”



“[Tyrese] Maxey has done the same, even waiting on a contract extension this summer so the franchise can preserve its ability to operate under the salary cap and improve the team in the future,” Shelbourne added.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230824#BUS#52021"></div>


Of course, we’ve seen these kinds of situations spiral and backfire multiple times, so the Sixers shouldn’t be 100% certain about their chances of keeping their stars regardless of what they say.

But his next <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>team would be his fourth in as many years.



Harden has burned every single bridge he’s crossed throughout the course of his career. He hasn’t been happy or satisfied anywhere, and one can only wonder whether he — not his teams — is the problem.



As a matter of fact, one of his former coaches recently put him on blast for constantly giving up on his teams. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-rockets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Houston Rockets</a> star doesn’t have a lot of friends left in this league.



<h2>Former James Harden Coach Says He’s Unreliable</h2>



“As I was told by a source whose coached James Harden in the past that he was talking to another coach that coached James Harden and said, ‘Listen, James is good until he isn’t good,” reported NBA insider Ohm Youngmisuk.



At the end of the day, Harden has brought all this upon himself. He’s had more superstar teammates than the average player and has zero championships to show for that.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230901#BUS#55627"></div>


He hasn’t even been back to the NBA Finals since his days with the Oklahoma City Thunder — in which he was a major no-show. So, why should anyone go out of their way to trade for him at this point in his career?

He doesn’t want to play there or for any other <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> team that employs Daryl Morey in any sort of capacity.



Harden and Joel Embiid are one of the best duos in the Eastern Conference. That’s why they cannot afford to lose him right now, but he might not be motivated to play at all.



That’s why Hip Hop star Lil Wayne believes the only solution is for him to get to where he wants, saying that he should be a star again if he joins the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers.</a>



<h2>Lil Wayne Still Has Faith In James Harden</h2>



“When he’s motivated, I believe those players on that team, that’s his motivation,” Wayne said on Undisputed. “That’s the type of players he loves to be around, that’s the type of people he loves to play with…. That’s where he wants to be. You get him where he wants to be, he’s going to play.”



“I don’t look at it has quit — James got out there before we knew there was a real fire, so James smelled the smoke,” Wayne continued.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230901#BUS#55627"></div>


At the end of the day, Harden will have to prove himself again next season, whether it’s in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, or anywhere else, as he’s 33, injury-prone, and hasn’t delivered in the playoffs.

James Harden’s tenure with the Philadelphia 76ers has been somewhat solid. He led the NBA in assists last season, but — as per usual — he fell short of the goal in the playoffs.



Harden now wants to leave the City of Brotherly Love, which makes no sense from a basketball standpoint, considering he’s playing side by side with the reigning MVP, Joel Embiid.



However, according to NBA analyst Rachel Nichols, his desire to leave is motivated by his belief in his skills, as he still feels like the MVP candidate he wasdduring his days with the Houston Rockets.



<h2>James Harden Wants To Be A Go-To Guy Again</h2>



“He still thinks of himself as the guy from that Game 1 or the guy from that Game 4 (against the Boston Celtics). He thinks he should be leading the show,“ Nichols said on Undisputed.



“The reason why he wanted out of Philadelphia in the first place is that it’s the Joel Embiid show right now. He wants a different role,” the analyst added.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230828#BUS#53450"></div>


Ironically, Harden reportedly wants to play for the Los Angeles Clippers, and there’s simply no way he’s going to be the alpha dog there with Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook, and Paul George also on the team.

James Harden's shocking actual reason to want out of Philadelphia - Bolavip US

The 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season is still months away from us, but for many reasons, a number of teams and players are already looking forward to it. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-simmons">Ben Simmons</a>, for instance, can’t wait to return to the floor with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets">Brooklyn Nets</a>.



The Australian’s performance have been on decline in the last couple of seasons, which is why he’s going into the new year hoping to get back to his best. Back in the day, Simons made the All-Star game on three occasions.



Nothing has been the same for him since the moment he decided to leave the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a>, where he went through very difficult months before finally being traded. Even so, Simmons has great memories of his time in the City of Brotherly Love, which would be his favorite landing spot in a hypothetical trade.



<h2>Ben Simmons says 76ers would be his preferred trade destination</h2>



“I had a lot of fun there. It was time for me to go. When I did leave, it was good timing,” Simmons told Marc Spears of Andscape about his time in Philadelphia. “Obviously, the injury and everything that was going on didn’t help. But I think it gave me a chance to really appreciate it.



“I’ll always have love for Philly. People always ask me like, ‘If you were to get traded again where you want it to be?’ I always say, ‘Just Philly. Philly is a second home to me.’ And in time, you learn and grow as people. I don’t really have anything bad to say about Philly. It was a crazy situation at the end, but it is what it is.”



<h2>When did Ben Simmons get drafted?</h2>



Ben Simmons was selected with the first overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2016 NBA Draft.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230814#BUS#46164"></div>


<h2>What’s Ben Simmons’ contract?</h2>



Ben Simmons is in the fourth season of a five-year, $177 million contract.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden</a> is determined to force his way out to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers.</a> He’s already bounced around multiple <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> teams over the past couple of years, so he knows every trick in the book.



Likewise, GM Daryl Morey has proven to be stubborn when he sets his mind on something. But not even a hardnosed negotiator like him can deal with a disgruntled star ready to wreak havoc on your team.



That’s why, as much as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> would love to force him to stay, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports reports that Harden has been in touch with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and they all want to team up.



<h2>Clippers Already Have A Role For James Harden</h2>



“What I’ve heard is that, hey, James has been in conversation with Paul and Kawhi, and they’re all kind of on the same page,” reported Goodwill.



“[They’ll use him as] Long reliever where he’s going to eat up innings, he going to eat up games, he’s going to eat up usage while you can nurse Kawhi and Paul and hopefully get them to April where hopefully they’ll be healthy,” the report added. “And you can sort of power James down a little bit and turn this thing over to the two playoff players.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230825#BUS#52452"></div>


The Clippers were reportedly reluctant to give up multiple valuable assets to get Harden, but they could still find a way to get him if his situation in Philadelphia continues to get out of hand.

The former star wants to leave and play for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers,</a> but GM Daryl Morey won’t trade him.



Harden was fined for his comments against Morey, and he doubled down on his criticism of him by stating that he had promised to trade him before changing his mind.



Whatever the case, young <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> star Tyrese Maxey seems more than ready to take a leap forward, and while he would obviously want Harden to be back, he’s not there to sit down and wait.



<h2>Tyrese Maxey Just Wants To Win</h2>



“It’s crazy to say this, but it’s not our first rodeo, honestly,” Maxey told Liberty Ballers. “That’s funny to say, but that’s life. James is his own individual and he’s able to do whatever he pleases.”



“I’m preparing right now to play with him or without him,” he continued. “And I love James. If James decided he’s going to come back and play for us, there’s nobody in this organization that would be upset about that.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51048"></div>


That’s the attitude one would expect from any young, hungry star in this league. Maxey is a blossoming offensive talent, and maybe he’d be better off if Harden left so he could have more touches.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a> are going through tough times months before the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season gets underway. Their plan to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joel-embiid">Joel Embiid</a> with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden">James Harden</a> could fall apart, as The Beard reportedly wants out.



The veteran guard opted into a player option this offseason, but only to get traded. Since the Sixers have failed to grant his wish so far, Harden has publicly declared he doesn’t want to work with Daryl Morey anymore.



It remains to be seen whether Harden ultimately gets what he wants, but it looks like a matter of time before he finally leaves. In the meantime, other teams seem to be monitoring Embiid’s situation.



<h2>Which teams are reportedly interested in Joel Embiid?</h2>



According to NBA insider Marc Stein, both the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks are keeping an eye on Joel Embiid in case he wants out of Philly.



“I do believe that the Knicks and Heat are among the teams monitoring the situation because they would wish to be at the front of the line if Embiid did ask out,” Stein wrote.



“Both Knicks president Leon Rose and his top aide William Wesley were at Embiid’s recent wedding and, while true that Rose and Wesley used to represent Embiid as player agents, it has been suggested that their attendance was ‘not nothing.’



“Heat star Jimmy Butler, meanwhile, remains close to Embiid in the wake of their mere six-ish months as teammates together in Philadelphia.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51274"></div>




Embiid made some noise by deleting references to the city of Philadelphia in recent weeks, but he never said anything about wanting out. However, when it comes to a player’s future, nothing is certain.

While the spotlight is set on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden,</a> he’s not even the biggest problem the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers </a>have right now. Their top priority should be taking care of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joel-embiid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joel Embiid.</a>



There have been plenty of rumors and narratives about how Harden’s situation could create a domino effect that could lead them to lose Embiid as well. Some even claim that’s Daryl Morey’s endgame.



Needless to say, multiple teams would take the reigning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> MVP in a heartbeat if he were to become available. However, a report by Marc Stein states that Embiid has not even hinted at requesting a trade right now.



<h2>Joel Embiid Hasn’t Requested A Trade</h2>



“According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, the defending MVP has not (repeat: not) asked to be traded,” wrote Timothy Rapp of Bleacher Report. “If/when that happens is when the Harden situation truly becomes a crisis for Morey and the Sixers.”



“It bears repeating that the Sixers aren’t trading Embiid unless Embiid forces them into it. Nothing close to that has happened—yet,” Rapp added.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230822#BUS#50444"></div>


Of course, we’ve also seen how quickly these kinds of things can change in this league, and Embiid is an unpredictable and smart guy, so we should keep an eye on this situation.
