Welcome to the first day of the rest of your lives, Sixers fans. Whether you learned in the wee hours of the night, or woke up to texts and notifications from your friends, the James Harden trade request saga is finally behind us with the news that the veteran guard is being sent to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of a seven-player deal.
Aside from the catharsis of no longer having to deal with the constant updates and non-updates of the ‘will they, won’t they’ between the Sixers and Clippers, this deal provides a lot of advantages for Philadelphia moving forward.
