At two o'clock in the morning, Harden got on the boat as he wished, Tucker was with him, and the Philadelphia conscience found that Covington was heartbroken

Finally, after Lillard joined the championship-contending Bucks, the curtain came down on the big bubble drama "Where Are You Going, Harden", which had been disturbing for months. The former MVP player, who would rather die and refuse to work with the Philadelphia general manager again, got on board at 2 a.m. US time on October 31 — along with his brother 38-year-old PJ Tucker and another '21 second-round pick, Philip Petrusev.

Don't look at Harden's heart to go to the Clippers is so determined, this deal can be said to be very sudden, not long ago the two teams had a huge disagreement over whether they could build chips around Mann, and turned around to reach a deal in such an uneventful early morning. But it is not easy to inquire about the details of the transaction between the two sides and the final chips at two o'clock in the morning, and the Clippers publicly complained on social media: At two o'clock in the morning, there are two back-to-back games after that, and it is really not easy to figure out who was exchanged for Harden.

The Athletic's Shams Charania has to step in personally, and in the latest report from the Athletic, the Clippers' chips include Batum, Morris Jr., Covington, a 28-year unprotected first-round pick from the Clippers, two second-rounders, and an additional first-round pick from a third-party team. It can be seen that this deal can finally take shape, and Philadelphia's concession is a key role, and Mann has been relieved of his insistence before, perhaps because of his conscience, or because he lost patience in the tug-of-war with Harden, thinking about ending this endless internal friction as soon as possible.

In short, Harden finally got his wish, and the beard came to his fourth team in 3 years, and in one fell swoop, he fought for the record for the most MVP titles in NBA history - one of them is Harden's "second brother" Russell Westbrook, and Wei Shao is in the Clippers team, which is also the third time in his career after the Thunder and Rockets. This time, will Harden be able to make the final push for a championship on a "normal" team? It can be said that Deng Ge has gambled on the last reputation of his career and the last remaining transaction value of his career, and if he does not succeed, he will become a benevolent, hoping to have a good result.

For Philadelphia, there is really not much value in the chips of the Clippers' big basket: "French Maddy" Batum's average data this season has dropped off a cliff to 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists, the shooting rate is less than 40%, and there is doubt about how much gas is left in the tank; The most heart-wrenching is Covington, the 32-year-old was abandoned last season, and finally won back the trust of Coach Lue, returned to the starter, and was sent to Philadelphia after just 3 games, and went around and around and returned to the place where the dream began, but the old club has Harris and Oubre in the team, I am afraid that his playing time and rotation order are not very good, and he has to start working again.

At this point, this soap opera has come to an end, it depends on what kind of answer Harden can hand over if he comes to the City of Angels as he wishes, the Clippers currently have the two MVPs of Xiaoka, FMVP, Vuitton, and Paul George, an All-Star, and the book strength is enough to meet any of the giants face-to-face, it depends on how long it takes for Deng Ge to integrate into the Clippers' system. And after Philadelphia has ended their internal attrition, can they regroup this season? Embiid was revealed to be bent on going to the Knicks, and Maxey's early contract extension was not completed, and the team's troubles are far from being able to end with a Harden trade.
