CAMDEN, N.J. — The months-long drama surrounding James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers has finally come to an end. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported early Tuesday morning that the three-time NBA scoring champion will be traded to the LA Clippers. 76ers coach Nick Nurse, however, slept through the news when he received the call about the deal. Despite the distractions caused by the Harden saga, Nurse believes his team has remained focused and prepared. Tyrese Maxey will now take on the role of point guard for the team, following a strong start to the season. The trade brings some relief to the organization, which has been dealing with uncertainty since Harden requested a trade in June. The 76ers can now turn their attention to building a future around Joel Embiid and Maxey. With options for free agency next summer, the team has ample salary cap space to reshape the roster. The focus now is on Thursday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, as Nurse continues to coach the team with optimism for the future. Maxey expressed his gratitude to Harden for his mentorship and the confidence he instilled in him. Overall, the trade marks the end of a saga that has been hanging over the 76ers organization.
