Donovan Mitchell: You may not believe me when I say …
· Yahoo Sports
So James Harden and I were just talking about how he got here, and how there was certainly a business component where the Clippers came his way with that partial guaranteed contract last summer and it was enough to eventually lead to his exit. (Harden signed a two-year, $81.5 million deal, but only $13.3 million was guaranteed for next season). But tell me on your side, how did this come to pass? When did the idea of James being the guy with you in the backcourt first cross your desk? Donovan Mitchell: You may not believe me when I say this, but I try not to get involved (in roster moves) as much as I can. But there’s a point where it’s like, ‘Okay (it’s getting real).’ So I wanna say, twwooo weeks? Maybe a little bit more. My timing could be off, but it’s like, ‘Alright there’s a conversation (between the two teams), so is that something that you (want)?’ And I’m like, ‘Hell yeah.’
