James Harden Wants Trade To 76ers, Won't Request One Due To Backlash Concerns

James Harden wants to be traded to from the Brooklyn Nets to the Philadelphia 76ers, but he has resisted formalizing a request out of fear of a public backlash.

Harden is hopeful the 76ers trade for him before Thursday's deadline, but there have been no serious talks on a deal yet.

The sides are expected to communicate on Thursday and there is the possibility of a deal.

A deal could hinge on the willingness of Daryl Morey to include additional assets beyond Ben Simmons.

Philadelphia could re-engage the Nets on an opt-in and trade strategy in the offseason.
