One source who’s been in contact with the Clippers and others told Heavy Sports, “Daryl’s trying to steal people in trades, and nobody’s going for it. First thing, Harden’s not the same guy he was three or four years ago, so his market’s not that great. And Morey’s trying to get so much, but he’s not going to get it.” Added one NBA coach, “This is who James is. If you think he can be a piece that adds to what you already have and gets you over the top, maybe you think about him. But that’s what Philly thought and we see how that’s worked out. In any case, you can’t give up too much for him. No way.” heavy.com/sports/philadelphia-76ers/james-harden-daryl-morey-future/

Or maybe Morey didn't like being called a liar by that fat, lazy, overpaid a-hole and decided to watch him squirm for a while.

Where is GM Elton Brand in all of this? Is he Morey's lackey?

Its an idiotic statement. I too have my reservations about how last season went, especially the injuries, but 1) a player is injury prone ... until they aren't anymore 2) a player is a workhorse strongman who doesn't get injured ..... until they do. 3) The Clips acquired Westbrook last season and did well for them as he assumed his fit and role here. Lets see how it translates to a whole season. 4) Personallly, I think Harden would be a major disruption and disrupt things at this point. Not sure I really even want him. 5) I do think they will make some sort of move at some point. For example, I just can't see how Morris is still on the team? Personally, I would rather see a stronger PF than another guard. I like Bones and his teammates have said a lot of good things about his improvement and development. Lets see how Westbrook and Bones man the PG role.
As far as other teams who he says are on top ..... look at Phoenix... isn't Durant injury prone? Beal is already out and suffering from back issues. As for Denver, Jocic is a beast and has never really been badly injured .... until perhaps he is one day. Murray was out for over a year and finally really looked good again at the end of last season. Lakers have LB and Davis, BOTH spend a ton of time on the bench the last couple of years.

So, Harden returned to the Sixers bags packed read to go on the road for their games, "But the 76ers have now asked him not to travel with the team, sources said." Also from Sixers, "Daryl Morey is willing to settle for slightly less draft capital, as long Terance Mann is included in the deal."
Mann, who has only missed one game each season to injury, one of which was concussion protocols mandating he miss the game, is suddenly out.
Hrm.
Is that smoke I smell?

Why is Morey so hung up on Mann? He seems to value Mann more than many Clipper fans.

Mann was seen with walking boot this morning. I really doubt he’s being traded for Harden.

If that rumor is true, the deal would be for a first round pick. But if this rumor is true, he's willing to give up a first round pick to get Mann. So, unless that other first round pick is so much better than ours, it sounds like he has a particular fascination with Mann.

One of the few times in life you don't want to get a Hardon.
Would also go thumbs down on James. Clippers rarely do the right thing, so we'll see wot happens.

He also mentions in this interview how Harden was more frustrating than Simmons. He almost could get called out for it being a coaching issue, but he says other teams were calling him asking how he got Harden to buy in initially. Says that Harden, if he plays team ball, can help lead a team to championships. Simmons he doesn't believe can and also doesn't think he has a real love for the game. Media Doc is gonna be a gold mine lol
