President of Operations of the Philadelphia 76ers believes that the point guard was not traded to the Los Angeles team because of the Californian franchise’s stance
Through a matter of Sam Amickfrom “The Athletic”, published this Wednesday, 18th, the journalist stated that Daryl Moreypresident of operations at Philadelphia 76ersI would not have liked the stance of the Los Angeles Clippers during the negotiation of the exchange involving the shipowner James Harden. In fact, the executive would have called the franchise “not serious in trying to close the deal”placing them as the main culprits for the exchange not happening.
According to Amick, the Sixers wanted a package that netted them an unprotected first-round pick, a first-round pick trade, point guard Terrance Mann and a player who would equal salaries. However, the Clippers’ president of operations, Lawrence Frank, did not agree to involve Mann in the package. Still according to the journalist, Morey would have even joked that if the Californian team did not want to lose its smaller assets, it would be easier to exchange Paul George by Harden. However, according to the report, the request was also not accepted.
It’s no news that the situation between the experienced point guard and the Sixers is complicated. Therefore, the player is out of the team even before the start of the season and does not want to wear the franchise’s shirt again. Furthermore, Harden believes that Morey is complicating negotiations with the Los Angeles team, not the other way around.
