It's the new NBA where superstar players (or former ones) demand to be traded to one team only and if they don't get their wish they won't show up for work. James Harden who forced his way out of Houston to Brookyln and then forced his way out of Brooklyn a year later to Philadelphia wants to be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. The problem is Harden who will be 34 in two weeks isn't the player he used to be and now has a reputation of becoming disgruntled.
The Clippers have no desire to offer anything too significant for another older scorer to add to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
