James Harden, officially transferred from Philadelphia to the Los Angeles Clippers, has “always known how to sacrifice”, assured his new coach Tyronn Lue on Wednesday, now faced with an abundance of great players. Harden (34 years old) “was a 10-time All-star, MVP in 2018, he is excellent in ‘pick and roll’. Last season, he offered 350 open shots to his partners, his passing quality will be useful to us “, praised Tyronn Lue, coach of the Clippers, during a press briefing before facing the Los Angeles Lakers.

After a long wait and an upset with Philadelphia, James Harden was finally transferred to Los Angeles this week, where he joins a star-studded roster, with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook. “The main thing will be the notion of sacrifice, warns Lue. These players, all four from Los Angeles, have had great careers. They know what an NBA title requires. It will require sacrifice. From now on my job is to ‘put the puzzle together, to lead us to success.’

Lue doesn’t “know” when Harden will be ready to play, he assured, following the player missed practices and the first games of his previous franchise. “His goal is the championship title. He always knew how to sacrifice himself. In Philadelphia, or even in Brooklyn he sacrificed himself for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, he was N.1 in assists.” Harden averages over 21 points and 10 assists per game over three seasons.
