Here’s a hot take: Lakers wildly overrated

Daryl Morey has accused the Los Angeles Clippers of being “unserious” about trading for James Harden, sources tell Sam Amick of The Athletic.

The Sixers reportedly told the Clippers they were willing to accept an unprotected first round pick, a first round pick swap, salary filler, and Terance Mann in exchange for Harden. But Lawrence Frank reiterated that the Clippers will not include Mann in their offer for Harden.

Harden has remained away from the Sixers this week and remains furious at Morey for how his situation has been handled. Harden, however, has stayed in communication with the team via Elton Brand as recently as Tuesday night.

The Sixers have trades lined up in which they would receive a first round pick in exchange for Mann.
