The Philadelphia 76ers have been patient with a trade for James Harden, and they are aware that Tobias Harris may remain with the team next season. This patient approach could result in a familiar squad at the start of next season. Let's take a look at their strategy.

The Philadelphia 76ers are on the sidelines of a trade for James Harden. Despite Harden being a top star, the 76ers aren't rushing to make a decision. They want better terms in the deal and make sure the long-term interests of the team are considered. Therefore, they have taken a patient approach and continue to evaluate the trading prospects until they find the most suitable option.
In addition, the 76ers recognize the value of Tobias Harris on the team. Despite rumours that he could be traded, it looks likely that he could stay with the team for now. Harris has shown his quality this past season and he has a good relationship with the team. Therefore, his presence can bring a familiar and stable lineup.
This patient strategy toward James Harden and Tobias Harris could keep the Philadelphia 76ers on a familiar roster at the start of next season. They believe that by retaining key players and adjusting appropriately, the team can expect to perform better. This strategy may help build teamwork and rapport and get off to a good start to the season.
Meanwhile, Harden was spotted partying and posing for photos with several of his 76ers teammates during the July 4 holiday, including Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxi. This seems to indicate that Harden's dissatisfaction with the team is limited to management and/or ownership, and does not affect his relationships with his teammates on the court.
By remaining patient, the 76ers run the risk of further angering Harden, which could lead him to simply sit on the bench until his trade wishes are met, as Ben Simmons did with the Pay City 76ers a few years ago. The difference, however, is that Simmons has signed a guaranteed maximum salary contract before turning down the game, while Harden doesn't currently have any guaranteed earnings after the 2023-24 season. So what's best for Harden is to continue playing next season and perform well as he seeks a new contract next summer. If he chooses not to participate in the competition or performs poorly out of malice, it can seriously affect his future earning potential.
The 76ers also want to maintain financial flexibility going forward. They expect to have considerable salary space next summer, as both Harris and Harden's contracts expire, and they don't want to accept a long-term salary deal to protect that flexibility, with some notable exceptions. That limits the number of potential trades the 76ers could be interested in, and another limiting factor is that they're firmly in win-to-win mode, meaning that trades based on future draft picks or unproven players are likely not going to change the situation for the team.
All things considered, Harden and Harris are still likely to remain on Philadelphia's roster when the new season begins in October. Embiid is clearly not leaving, and Maxi, one of the brightest young stars in the league, is currently completely unavailable in any trade talks, though the team does not plan to offer him a contract extension this offseason. P.J. Tucker has two years left on his three-year contract with the team last year. As a result, the 76ers have the potential to restructure last season's starting five.
Philadelphia fans are understandably hungry for change, as the team continues to do so after consecutive unsatisfactory second-round exits. However, Harris believes the team has enough ability to truly compete with its current roster, and that the team could benefit from some coherence — something that has not been seen with the Philadelphia 76ers in the past few years. Harden apparently doesn't share Harris' view, but that perception may change over time. Next summer, he'll be free to choose which team he wants to sign, but Philadelphia has control over that situation, and Harden's team playing for the 76ers in the Eastern Conference for another championship may end up being the best option for both sides.
