NBA executives and scouts react to the 76ers trading James Harden to the Clippers, and explain why Harden's fit in LA might not be so seamless.
for a package of mostly veteran role players and draft picks. The general consensus among NBA fans: the Clippers overwhelmingly won the deal.
By moving Harden, Morey erases the cloud hanging over both him and the franchise since the player he acquired twice — once from theas 76ers team president — said last summer,"Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of."Harden had already made his desire to be traded known when he opted into the final year of his contract on June 29.

Westbrook and Harden have played together twice before, in Oklahoma City and again, a decade later, with the Houston Rockets. The reunion lasted one season.
