James Harden's Reported Reaction to Clippers Trade Revealed
There was one thing James Harden wanted all off-season, and that was to be a member of the LA Clippers. Now, after months of waiting, Harden finally has his wish.
According to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, James Harden is "ecstatic" to be joining the Clippers and could even possibly be in attendance during tonight's game against the Orlando Magic. Here is the exact excerpt from Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski's article:
"Harden is "ecstatic" to be going to the Clippers and hoping to fly to Los Angeles as soon as possible, sources close to him told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. There's a chance he will attend Tuesday night's Clippers home game against the Orlando Magic."
It remains to be seen when Harden would actually play his first game for the LA Clippers. One would hope it would be against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night, but that would be cutting it very close in terms of a physical. It's a bit unfortunate timing for the Clippers, especially because they have a back-to-back coming up and are already down Terance Mann entering the game.
Regardless, Harden making an appearance would definitely help with the Clippers' team chemistry. Losing Nicolas Batum is a major presence when it comes to the team chemistry of the Clippers. Robert Covington was another player who was close with many of the players on the team.
The biggest question mark for the Clippers moving forward is who will their starting power forward be for the time being; the team just traded three of its power forwards and Terance Mann is currently injured.
There are many questions to ask when it comes to James Harden being on the Clippers, and the entire situation is one big X-Factor. One thing is for sure though, the LA Clippers have one of the most stacked rosters in the league on paper.
