It's expected that Harden has played his last game for Philadelphia, per the same report.

The Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks are expected to be among the teams that'll engage with the Sixers on a potential Harden trade, Wojnarowski adds.

Houston is another possible landing destination for the 10-time All-Star. Harden is regarded as one of the Rockets' greatest players of all time, having earned the 2018 MVP award and numerous other accolades during his impressive nine-season tenure with the team.

Harden averaged 21.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and league-best 10.7 assists last season.
