Clippers unwilling to offer more than one pick for James Harden
Los Angeles has not been willing to offer more than one selection to Philadelphia for Harden, sources said. The Clippers have also not been willing to include versatile swingman Terance Mann. But if the Sixers and Daryl Morey could spin a potential holdout with Harden into a motivated Holiday, for the cost of one of Philadelphia’s future picks and Harden’s $35.6 million salary, that would bill as fantastic value for all parties involved. But then, maybe the Clippers abandon all pursuit of Harden to go after Holiday in their own right.

James Harden is on the award podium, about to help hand out medals to Inter Miami and Houston – the team he owns part of – after the US Open Cup final. Someone just said something that made him laugh very hard. This has been your James Harden update. – 10:50 PM

Before all hell broke loose today, @DerekBodnerNBA, @rich_hofmann and I recorded a Morey centric episode that I thought was pretty good.
We debated the transactions, of course, but the schism with Harden is where I think he deserves the most scrutiny:

Glad we got this published this morning @BleacherReport
Worst Landing Spots for Damian Lillard, James Harden, Buddy Hield –> still 2/3rd relevant but still worth looking at the Dame stuff!

The Sixers are interested in acquiring Jrue Holiday, according to @KyleNeubeck from @PHLY_Sixers.
If there’s a way to flip James Harden to the Clippers and get back Holiday, that’d be a win for the Sixers. Holiday would be a perfect fit with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. pic.twitter.com/jneLiH7bEL – 3:10 PM

I’m picturing Harden arguing with his teammates that he wants to guard Dame on opening night like MJ and Scottie did before playing Toni Kukoc in the Olympics.
Just not for the exact same reasons. – 2:54 PM

I’ll say the obvious
Just about everything that made sense about James Harden/Clippers connection (on-ball, off-ball, positional size/versatility, contract #, contract years, respect from stars, hometown ties) applies to Jrue Holiday. – 2:45 PM

More on this storyline
“Not lots of guys. And I’m going to tell you something. A lot fewer are going to have it going forward. I guess last year when Harden was taking a paycut, they weren’t really in a position to deal point negotiate. “James Harden is owed $35.6 million this year. He got 25 percent of his salary on July 1st. He has 25 percent of his salary due on October 1st, which is Sunday.” -via RealGM / September 28, 2023
The Heat have limited assets to improve the roster with few available impactful players, and their trade flexibility is limited thanks to their proximity to the second tax apron. It’s possible that they get linked to some of the better-known available players, such as Holiday, James Harden, or Pascal Siakam. -via HoopsHype / September 28, 2023
Perhaps Holiday entering the trade market presents more flexibility for the Sixers and James Harden. Philadelphia has indeed registered its interest in Holiday with Portland, league sources told Yahoo Sports. -via Yahoo! Sports / September 27, 2023
