named the Knicks as another team expected to “engage with the Sixers on a potential James Harden trade.” and said, “I just want a chance to compete. Compete.”Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
Indeed, a source told NBC Sports Philadelphia that Harden’s focus is to play for a team with a chance to win the championship.
