[Scotto] To my understanding, the best the Sixers would’ve considered was something along the lines of a two-year deal, which would’ve included a team option, and that type of short-term commitment wasn’t going to appeal to Harden.

Harden knew the team he wanted to go to, the Clippers, and the only way to get there and get his money was to opt in because of their restrictions with the salary cap. There’s still been dialogue between the two teams. As for Harden and Daryl Morey, it’s been a while since they’ve spoken, and their relationship is done.

As I reported previously on HoopsHype, Tucker has come up in the trade talks between the Sixers and Clippers. The Clippers covet Tucker’s ability to guard multiple positions and defend the league’s top opposing scorers.
