Clippers Trail Blazers Trade Conclusion

The Clippers' acquisition of Harden is a significant move, as he is one of the most dynamic offensive players in the NBA. Harden averaged 22.0 points, 10.3 assists, and 7.9 rebounds per game last season for the 76ers. The addition of Tucker and Nurkic will also provide the Clippers with much-needed depth and experience. Tucker is a tough, physical defender who can also knock down shots from three-point range. Nurkic is a solid rim protector and rebounder who can also contribute offensively. The Clippers are now considered one of the favorites to win the NBA championship. They have a deep and talented roster that is led by Harden, George, and Leonard. The Clippers will be looking to make a deep playoff run this season and challenge for their first NBA title.
