Harden recently had another showdown with the management of the Philadelphia 76ers, will not play in the 76ers next season, applied for a trade to the Clippers, extremely resolute, there is no room for negotiation, although the 76ers have been trying to retain in various ways, but General Manager Morey's summer operation has seriously hurt Harden, so it is imperative to trade Harden, and for the Blazers, Lillard is also not worrying, its agent publicly dissuaded all league teams except the Heat, for the Blazers, the trade is also a last resort, Just today, the NBA Analysis Network predicted an earthquake-level four-way trade involving the 76ers, Trail Blazers, Clippers and Heat, let's take a look at the specific transaction information.
Four-party trading scheme
Miami Heat wins: Damian Lillard, Marcus Morris;
Los Angeles Clippers win: James Harden, PJ Tucker;
Philadelphia 76ers won: Taylor Hiro, Caleb Martin, Robert Covington, 2028 second-round pick (from the Heat), 2029 second-round pick (from the Heat);
The Portland Blazers won: 2027 unprotected first-round pick (from the Heat), 2029 unprotected first-round pick (from the Heat), 2028 unprotected first-round pick (from the Clippers), 2030 unprotected first-round pick (from the Clippers), Kyle Lowry, Nicholas Batum, Nicola Jovic, Kobe Brown, Amir Coffey, Jason Preston.
According to Blazers' team reporter Aaron M. J. Fentres previously reported that the Blazers' asking price for Lillard includes 4 first-round picks, plus 1 or 2 young outstanding players, it is clear that the Heat alone will definitely not be able to get so many first-round picks, then it is imperative to promote a three-way trade or a four-way trade, which can maximize the ideal chip, and this four-way trade of the US media analysis network obviously meets the requirements of the Blazers.
As for the 76ers, through the available sources, they obviously ask too much, and the most important reason is that they don't want Harden to leave, but unfortunately, fans who know Harden should be clear that as long as he makes a decision, it is difficult for external factors to change Harden, just like the original Rockets, the original Nets, the top salary is not enough to change his thinking, so getting the return to the greatest extent is something that the 76ers management should consider.
