James Harden has reportedly requested a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers and has his sights set on heading to Los Angeles to join the Clippers. Of course, all of this has been said through back channels, i.e. agents, league reporters, etc. We haven’t heard from Harden himself on the matter. Now, while he doesn’t address his own situation directly, James did sit down for an interview with Mackenzie Salmon for USA Today Sports:
In the interview, Harden provides his thoughts on the new in-season tournament, the growth of the NBA across the David Stern and Adam Silver commissioner eras, the future of soccer in America, and more.
