The Clippers veteran continued, “[James Harden] was like hey listen if you commit to that, I'll lead you where you need to go.”

Harden wants the Clippers stars to sacrifice for a common goal, which is undoubtedly winning a championship. Although many people have questioned Harden's fit, he is the ultimate playmaker who can help the Clippers get over the hump.

Harden comes off a 2022-23 season where he led the NBA in assists. The NBA saw glimpses of Harden's success with other superstars when he played with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn. He clearly can sacrifice and boost his teammates' performance.

If the Clippers can get on one accord, there is no doubt the Harden trade will work out.
