The Clippers are actively looking for a trade partner for James Harden, following recent reports. The Cavaliers have emerged as strong contenders to acquire him.
Harden is reportedly eager for a trade to pursue a championship. While the Clippers have performed well recently, they’re not expected to rank in the top six of the Western Conference. Joining the Cavaliers, who topped the Eastern Conference last season, offers Harden a clearer path to the Finals.
For the Clippers, acquiring Darius Garland, a two-time All-Star point guard, represents a positive shift for the team, which has had one of the oldest rosters in NBA history at the start of the season.
