Over the majority of the NBA offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers were trying to figure out how they were going to handle the James Harden situation after he opted into his contract and then demanded a trade.
Harden made it clear that he wanted to go home to play for the Los Angeles Clippers, and talks between the two teams went back and forth for months until a deal finally came to fruition a few games into the 2023-24 NBA regular season.
After finally getting his wish to play for the Clippers, the Los Angeles franchise had to figure out how four star players were going to coexist, with the team stacked with players that are used to being franchise players during their NBA careers.
Once Harden joined forces with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook, the Clippers had one of the most intimidating rosters in the league, but many questioned whether it would work.
Four games into the Harden experience in Los Angeles, the Clippers have lost all four games, with this team struggling to figure things out, as they even lost to arguably one of the worst teams in the league right now in the Memphis Grizzlies via NBA Central.

When will teams realize Harden sucks

Not a great “system”

Whenever superstar players in the NBA decide to play together, it takes some time to build chemistry, especially if those players are used to having the ball in their hands in order to be successful.
The Clippers are a perfect example of a team that needs more time on the floor together, but the jury is still out on whether this team will ultimately put it all together this season.
