The love was clearly more one-sided than the Sixers Pres thought. Morey asked for couples counseling but Harden wasn’t having it as the star NBA player is off to the Clippers after requesting a trade.

Lawrence Frank, the Clippers' president of basketball operations, said this week that Harden's only goal in coming to LA is to win games.

"James Harden should have been an All-Star last year," Frank said of the Clippers' new star guard. "But he's a 10-time All-Star. He has an elite skill set, and all he cares about is one thing: He wants to win a championship for the LA Clippers.

"He wants to be part of something bigger than himself. He's had all the individual awards. He's about doing something really special."

So what does the trade mean for both teams? Check out the info below.
