Why are the Clippers so reluctant to give up Mann for Harden? (www.reddit.com)

I want to lead in by saying that I understand ANY team not wanting to trade ANYTHING for Harden.

I just don't see him as an additive. It's going to be subtraction through addition adding him to any team.

However, it seems like the Clippers DO WANT Harden.

So my question is: Why are they not willing to give up Terrance Mann to get him?

I mean... a rotation player, a first, and swap seem reasonable if Harden is somebody you want.

I get that they may want the picks top-5 protected... sure.

But Mann... he's good. No doubt.

But he's 26, still a single-digit scorer. Good shooter. Yes.

So why is he the hold up?

Am I missing something with this guy? I mean, last year the Clippers DECREASED his minutes. They can't be THAT high on him.

​

What am I missing here?

Harden will be a FA next offseason and you already know he’s looking for a max and he’s not worth the max, so he potentially leave if he don’t get what he wants, meaning you wasted your future draft pick and player/trade asset for nothing…
