Harden is “ecstatic” to be going to the Clippers and is hoping to fly to Los Angeles as soon as possible, sources close to him say. There’s a chance he is in attendance for Tuesday’s home game vs Orlando. https://t.co/jLgtY5O9jf

I'm not entirely sure how James Harden fits in a lineup with Kawhi/PG/Russ, but the Clippers have been so injured every year that they had to pull the trigger. Needed the extra superstar depth because history kept repeating itself.

The Clippers have some depth chart questions to answer now, but the bottom line is that they acquired James Harden without giving up Terance Mann.
The 76ers tried making it seem that wasn’t an option, but the Clippers saw it through.

Harden-34
Kawhi-32
PG- 33
Westbrook-34Clippers’ future firsts could wind up being very valuable. BUT
Embiid- 30 in March. Good bet 76ers won’t be the ones using that pick, they will need to move it to add talent
