<p>Neither the Clippers nor the 76ers have publicly acknowledged the reported development on social media. However, Adrian Wojnarowski further dished during an appearance on ESPN&#8217;s <em>Get Up </em>series on Tuesday (Oct. 31).</p>
<p>Wojnarowski declared, <strong><em>&#8220;Clippers and Sixers started the talk again over the weekend on a Harden trade. Philadelphia simply wanted to do everything they could to avoid trying to reincorporate James Harden into this team.&#8221;</em></strong></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">NBA Twitter Reacts To The James Harden Reports</h3>
<p>Once the reports began swirling, people swiftly began chiming in on social media.</p>
<p>First and foremost, many fans were psyched to learn that James Harden, <strong>Russell Westbrook</strong>, <strong>Kawhi Leonard</strong>, and <strong>Paul George</strong> would all be playing on the same team.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, <strong>Stephen A. Smith</strong> spoke on the Clippers&#8217; shifting roster during <em>First Take </em>by declaring, &#8220;This is it for them as far as I&#8217;m concerned.&#8221; Supporting this point, he mentioned that Harden, Westbrook, and George are &#8220;in the top 9 of most games played without an NBA championship.&#8221;</p>

<p>Humorously, one user summed the overall experience up by remarking, <strong><em>&#8220;Two happiest days of a NBA fan&#8217;s life are when their team trades for James Harden, and when their team trades away James Harden.&#8221;</em></strong> Oop!</p>
