The Philadelphia 76ers traded James Harden early in the 2023-24 season due to their reluctance to offer him a long-term contract.
The trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, where Harden eventually led a successful season, involved acquiring a first-round pick, two first-round pick swaps, and players including Nicolas Batum.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia signed free agent Paul George, but the team ended up seventh in the East and underperformed compared to expectations.
The roster decisions in recent years have led to concerns that the team has wasted the championship window for Joel Embiid.
