Latest James Harden Trade Situation Details Revealed

James Harden has not attended any 76ers preseason games.

Even though James Harden has been a professional in his recent practice with the Philadelphia 76ers, that doesn't mean he's all-in with the team. In fact, they're far from returning to that level of peace.

According to the newest report from Shams Charania, James Harden has not attended any of the 76ers' preseason games at all and only participated in one team practice in the last two weeks.

"While professional and engaged when present, James Harden has not attended any of the 76ers' preseason games and has participated in just one team practice scrimmage over 14 days of training camp, sources say."

Charania's statement really puts into perspective just how far away the 76ers are from actually having James Harden come back to their team. Even if he's still a member of the roster once the regular season starts, it's beyond clear that Harden is trying to stay as far away as possible and trying to get to the Clippers. 

In the meantime, it also seems very clear that the LA Clippers are taking their time with this trade. They don't want to include Terance Mann, they don't want to include more than two first-round picks, and they're going to make this deal on their terms, instead of Philadelphia's terms. With those two combined, this entire situation is the definition of being caught between a rock and a hard place.
