The Los Angeles Clippers and James Harden are \u2018working\u2019 to see if the parties can reach a solution before Thursday’s NBA deadline. The news was reported on Monday evening based on sources cited by Shams Charania.<\/p>\n

Among the teams that have expressed serious interest are the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to ESPN<\/a>, but according to Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks are also in the mix. Harden, 36, can veto any trade because he is only under contract for this season.<\/p>\n

The player missed Sunday’s win in Phoenix and Monday’s 128-113 home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers for personal reasons, the Clippers explained. Tyronn Lue said Harden \u2018means a lot\u2019 to the franchise and added, \u2018Who wouldn’t want James Harden?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
