Former Clippers Player Reacts to James Harden's Trade Request

Former LA Clippers guard Baron Davis recently spoke with TMZ, and was asked about the possibility of James Harden being traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Clippers:

"I think that would be dope," Davis said. "The Clippers need another playmaker, somebody who can get fouled, slow the game down. They already got Paul George, Kawhi [Leonard]... [Russell Westbrook] is back, so having James is just another dimension and another level to how they can be a bonafide contender… He's went from back-to-back MVP - or candidate for MVP, to an All-Star, and then being a lead guard. And I think last year he had one of his best years as a point guard, showing people that he can just play point guard if you want him to. James is one of the most versatile offensive weapons that we've seen in a long time, and I think that he could fit in anywhere, especially the Clippers."

It was a detailed answer from Davis, who spoke about the ways Harden has evolved his game over the years, going from a perennial MVP candidate to someone who doesn't mind letting his scoring tale a back seat in order to facilitate for his teammates. This is one of the reasons Harden does project to be a good fit with with the Clippers, because with high-level scorers in Leonard and George, Harden would have the opportunity to help Westbrook set those two up.
