James Harden is someone who has gotten himself into his fair share of drama as a player in the NBA. Overall, this usually manifests itself in some trade requests. It happened in Houston and it happened in Brooklyn. Subsequently, it has been happening this year in Philadelphia. He didn't want to play for the organization anymore, and he was skipping out on practices as a way to protest. Well, now, it seems like he has finally gotten his wish. On Tuesday morning, it was revealed that Harden had been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Well, it appears as though the Clippers have become the lucky team. It was revealed by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN that despite their reluctance, they finally came to the conclusion that they could make all of this work. As you can see below, this was quite the blockbuster.
