The Los Angeles Clippers are now losers of five straight games, and it doesn’t seem like they have an answer right now.
Of course, it was evident that it would take some time before James Harden adapted to his new team and vice versa, but the fit might not be there at all.
That’s why ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith urged Tyronn Lue to figure out a way to leave the Clippers because this just isn’t going to work.

Smith stated that both Rusell Westbrook and James Harden need the ball in their hands to be facilitators for someone else or for themselves, and they’re not efficient running through screens like Stephen Curry or the Splash Brothers.
He also pointed out the fact that neither Westbrook nor Harden is going to be running around the court chasing the likes of Curry or other players, and they’re not even their team’s primary scorers.
Smith mocked Harden by stating that the Statue of Liberty moves more than him and believes this could be the end of his career if things don’t work out for him with the Clippers.
Truth be told, it’s hard to think of any other team giving Harden a chance after all he did to get to this point, and no one is going to offer him a big contract.
Perhaps the Clippers will need to send Westbrook to the bench, as we all know Harden won’t embrace that kind of role ever in his career.
Whatever the case, things don’t look well at all for Tyronn Lue’s team.
