In response to the news of the 76ers trading James Harden to the Clippers, NBA legend Vince Carter expressed concerns about the potential ramifications of the trade, emphasizing the importance of team chemistry and cohesion.
Carter, known for his iconic dunks and insightful analysis, highlighted the recent success of the Clippers and pondered whether the addition of Harden could disrupt the team’s dynamic, especially with the question of how the star-studded lineup will be managed.
Carter specifically highlighted the impressive contributions of Russell Westbrook, noting the balance Westbrook has brought to the team with his current playing style.
He stated on Run It Back, “It’s no way Harden comes off the bench. But Russ has been playing great basketball and that’s what you want.”
Expressing his reservations, Carter raised the pertinent question of how the Clippers would manage their star-studded lineup, considering the formidable talents of players such as Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and now Harden.
He remarked, “Why rock the boat when you don’t have to? I thought the Clippers were playing great basketball.”
