Here is a reminder of the deal that landed Harden in L.A with the Clippers.



Harden had been looking for a fresh start after things went off the rails with the Sixers. After arriving in Los Angeles he has now given his unfiltered opinion on what went wrong in Philadelphia.

Harden Breaks His Silence

During his introductory press conference, James Harden did not hold back when discussing his time in Philadelphia.





Harden seemed highly frustrated with his role within the Sixers system. He wanted to be more involved on the offensive end in more ways than he was but felt held back by the organization.



With Harden going to a team that already has several ball-dominant players one has to wonder if the fit is good in Los Angeles. Harden and the Clippers will get their first opportunity to show the world their new-look team on Monday against the New York Knicks.
