James Harden still wants to leave Philadelphia and remains determined to start next season in a Clippers jersey. But rival executives told @sam_amick they were universally convinced that the Sixers are now attempting to keep the 10-time All-Star.

Harden’s stance has not changed, a source close to him told The Athletic. He still wants to leave Philadelphia. He’s still upset with how Morey handled his situation heading into possible free agency last month.

And even with the recent revelation that Harden attended the same NBPA party as Sixers co-star Joel Embiid and former Sixers owner Michael Rubin in Vegas he’s still determined to start next season in a Clippers jersey.
