While the official confirmation of the James Harden trade is still pending, it hasn’t stopped him from openly embracing the Los Angeles Clippers. The formerly disgruntled All-Star, previously with the Philadelphia 76ers, made his way to Los Angeles on Tuesday to connect with his new team. Ahead of the Clippers’ game against the Orlando Magic, he and fellow newcomer P.J. Tucker were spotted at Crypto.com Arena shortly after both were traded to Los Angeles in a significant deal. Their initial order of business included a meeting with the Clippers’ team owner, Steve Ballmer, and the president of basketball operations, Lawrence Frank, who warmly greeted them in the arena tunnel.
