>After months of discussions between the two teams — and with Harden pulling away from Philadelphia as the regular season nears — Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey was hopeful the Clippers had changed their minds about their 27-year-old guard. But they had not.

>Despite the Sixers indicating that they would accept an offer of a Clippers’ unprotected first-round pick, first-round pick swap, players to match the salaries and Mann, two people involved in the negotiations say Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank reiterated the team’s stance that Mann would not be part of their offer. Morey, those people say, expressed his disbelief and accused the Clippers of being “unserious” about getting a deal done. He even quipped that they should just trade Clippers star Paul George for Harden if they were so determined to keep all of their lesser assets — a request that was immediately denied.

this is why I have a hard time ripping Daryl, because hes saying what we’ve all been saying for 2 months.

Be mad at Morey all you want but I genuinely don’t understand the clippers obsession with Mann
Morey good

Good on Morey. Don’t be a softie
I wish Morey had gone with Halliburton, but the one choice he didn’t make was hiring Doc and with a better coach who knows what could have been. I still think he’s a great GM and he absolutely should get every asset he can for Harden. Eventually another suitor will emerge.
Terrance Mann reading this like:
I reiterate: THE CLIPPERS MANAGEMENT CLEARLY DOES NOT WANT HARDEN…like at all
This is what I figured the deal would be. Surprised Morey has made it already tbh. Can’t blame the Clippers for trying to be as cheap as possible but there’s no way Harden is getting traded for less than that. Easily better off just keeping him at that point.
Harden’s ego gotta be bruised. They don’t want to trade a glorified role player for him.
