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?

All this and they know they have Morey by the balls, if he doesn't trade Harden for whatever he can get then the 76ers get nothing when he leaves in FA.

Morey will obviously move him, but probably wants to see how the first few weeks shake out. Nobody wants to have a big injury, but if it happens and you don't want to throw the season away a 1 year rental of Harden for a decent price starts to sound pretty good.
