If you woke up in shock to see the James Harden trade from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Los Angeles Clippers, you weren’t the only one.
But what if you were up at 2 a.m. ET when ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that Harden had been dealt? And then what if you waited for the trade details, which came in about 39 minutes later?
Yeah, there were a lot of fans who were miffed, and this is where I have a few things to say:
1. GO TO BED. THE TRADE WILL BE THERE IN THE MORNING.
2. Sometimes, reporters need to gather up the details and need to take the time to get them right, especially a deal that has a lot of players, pick swaps and other notable parts to it. Give Woj a break. Dude was up that late to break the news.
Here was the reaction:
Woj really tweeted the James Harden trade with no details and then went to sleep 😭 pic.twitter.com/kTRFn1Pzf7

Us: “No way… For who?!”
Woj:
Us: “Hello?”
Woj:
