This sort of thing has been happening more and more over the past few seasons. It's definitely not normal that some players are abusing their influence. By the way, Silver has once again said that he doesn't like it and wants players to honor the terms of their contracts.
As I see it, the NBA management should increase the fines for such actions by players multiple times because $50-100k fines seem quite insignificant to some players.

Still no update regarding to this and if ever they will be going to sign him, they might be planning for something that will work
for both Dwight and the rest of his teammates, that will play with him.

We know by a fact that coaching staff will check and balance the possibility and how they will be able
to maximize the use of each player that they've got.

I personally think that they are seeing something that can be useful. That's why they are giving a
chance we never know till they already sign him and let him play for them.

I read this earlier today and I think they demanded some big return from the Clippers which ended the trade talks obviously, it wasn't a reasonable trade at all when they wanted more for James Harden. looks like they are handling his attitude for more months after this trade talks ended and they needed to talk with the other teams right now in order to quickly trade him because he is not committed for the team anymore and wanted to get out from the 76ers as soon as possible.

We will see if both Harden and Lillard sit out next season. If that does happen, I believe the NBA will need to consider making some rule changes. They cannot allow this situation to happen again. What if other superstars follow suit, demanding trades to their desired teams, and if those demands aren't met, they just sit out? I think it's unfair to the organizations that have invested in them. It appears that the players are the ones dictating the terms, and this goes against the traditional business dynamics of the capitalist side.

I don't believe Harden will lose his value in this situation. Harden is in a similar situation to Ben Simmons, but I consider Harden to be more valuable. Therefore, I think he will eventually be traded, just as Simmons was traded by the 76ers after not playing for a while. They might be delaying it, but eventually, they will find a good trade for Harden. What's certain for now is that Harden won't be playing for the 76ers anymore. As he struggles, the same fate may befall his team, so there's no clear winner in this situation.

If Harden sits for an entire year that might end his career effectively.  He might land on another team but it's not going to be to his liking.  What contender is going to sign someone like that up and give him starter minutes.  Owners take note of this kind of stuff.  He might land on the bench of a winner or a starter for a non competitive team.  Both not to his liking.  Players act like they run the league and it will fail without them. 

This is a crazy image. Not to get all political with inflation, but damn.

When Simmons got traded, Harden is included in the trade package. The trade package that the Clippers can give to the Sixers consists of a bunch of role players, some draft picks, and in the package, it includes Terance Mann. If I remember correctly, he's the reason why the Clippers rejected the trade. They don't want to trade him because his energy inside the court is just high.

Well, it's your opinion, but with that trade package alone, I can see already that his value decreased. Just imagine if you're a Sixer fan, you will be giving an all-star player for a bunch of role players? That alone for me is a sign that his value is decreasing already, and this is probably because of the dramas around him that happened for the past few years. I'm curious on how will Harden be a few weeks at the start of the season. Will he not play for the Sixers like he said? Will he be traded to another team, and if yes, which teams are interested in him.

He's still a good passer, and he's the top assist leader last season, so yes he can still provide decent numbers.
The only question is which team/s will be trying to get him. I guess teams will just wait for the next season when he's already a free agent, and will try to get him. That would be safer for the team because there might be a chance that they'll trade some good players just to get him, and in the end, he will just go to another team.

Mann has good potential, and I think the Clippers will do the right thing if they don't trade him. As for Harden, we'll know his real value next offseason when he becomes a free agent. Personally, I don't think any team with established team chemistry would want to trade valuable role players for a guy who could change his mind at any time or request another trade a season later.
