Grading the James Harden trade for the Clippers, 76ers, and Thunder as the veteran guard goes to LA.
James Harden finally got his wish. The Philadelphia 76ers traded the veteran guard to the Los Angeles Clippers for a huge package of picks and players that also involves the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Clippers are getting Harden, P.J. Tucker, and Filip Petrusev in the deal.

The Bruins earned an impressive comeback win over the Panthers on Monday night, but the victory came at a steep price for the blue line.

The road hole bunker on the 17th hole at St. Andrews has seen a lot of action over the years, but nothing like this.
The 17th hole on the Old Course at St. Andrews, known as the ‘Road Hole,’ is regarded as one of the most challenging holes in the world.
It has also produced some of the greatest moments in golf history.
In 1984, Seve Ballesteros made a remarkable par-save that helped him win the Claret Jug.

James Harden forced his way out of another city.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was already one of the NBA’s most lovable superstars. But his performance Monday night giving his postgame press conference in a Hulk costume may have won over anyone who wasn’t already a big Giannis fan.
The Greek Freak was fully decked out for the occasion after the Bucks’ win over the Heat, rocking a mask and costume for the occasion as he answered reporters’ questions. He even broke out a Hulk voice as he opened the press conference, telling reporters “Don’t be scared” to the laughs of many in the room.
Deion Sanders took a moment to switch into dad mode following Shilo being ejected against UCLA.
The Colorado defensive back was ejected during the Saturday loss to the Bruins on a targeting call, but it was a questionable moment at best.
Shilo never made head to head contact, and it’s very hard to argue it wasn’t a football play. Ultimately, it didn’t matter because the refs made a decision and stuck with it. That meant Shilo had to go. Yet, Deion still took a moment to let him know everything would be okay.
The Thunder have emerged as a third team in the overnight trade that sent James Harden from the 76ers to the Clippers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Thunder have never been afraid to enter trade talks involving draft capital and we can now add this Harden blockbuster to the list.
The Clippers will send the Thunder a 2027 first-round pick swap, while the Thunder will send the 76ers a protected 2026 first-round pick. The Clippers are sending 2024 and ’29 second-round picks to the Sixers in the trade as well, according to Wojnarowski.
The 76ers sent Harden, P.J.
The ice hockey player whose stray kick slashed an opponent’s throat was making an “unorthodox move” and “absolutely” trying to make contact, a former National Hockey League player has claimed.
The Raiders offense struggled again on Monday night, as they only scored one offensive touchdown and needed a defensive pick-six to remain in the game. On the season, Las Vegas has only scored 20 points or more once in eight games, and that even required a late-game safety vs. the Patriots to surpass that mark.
Raiders fans were not happy with Las Vegas’s offensive performance, and they seem to be done with their coach as a result. After the game, “Fire Josh McDaniels” was trending on social media just halfway into his second season with the team.

Max Scherzer only pitched three innings for Texas in Game 3. The Rangers bullpen proceeded to step up in a major way to take the lead in the series.
Heading into this season’s World Series, if you were talking about the pitching in this series then the discussion would inevitably reach the Arizona Diamondbacks and their bullpen. After all, they famously kept the Phillies quiet in the latter stages of the NLCS and had also had their way with the Dodgers and Brewers in the earlier rounds of the Postseason as well.
