Sure, if Harden doesn't understand how it affects his next contract. The only reason he opted into his contract was because nobody wanted to pay him what he wanted in free agency. Maybe he also thinks that if he gets traded, that team will use their Bird Rights to give him a max contract next year. It's not happening and if he throws a tantrum his contract will be even smaller. Personally I wouldn't even offer a full mid-level. He's no use to a contender and he's too much of a ball hog for a rebuilding team. He's worth a bi-annual exception for his regular season value. Maybe.

Best chance Harden had to win a championship before his career ends was run it back with Embiid in Philly. (Not a 76ers fan). The team has talent and Nurse is an excellent coach. Harden probably wants to go to the Clippers to be closer to his favorite nightclubs in LA. No team that isn't insane is going to want to pay him more than the 35 million he is getting for next season. The Rockets were probably the only team with that much money to waste -- and they wasted it on Fred and that psycho Brooks. Russ just signed for 4 million a year with the Clippers -- that's a serious bargain by NBA standards. Clippers probably offered trading stamps and a taco Bell coupon for Harden ... and his soon to be expiring contract.

@@IGE5923 yeah and he won’t get the money he wants because he’s acting like prima donna. you think the way he’s acting, you’re team is gonna sign him? who’s your team…Orlando? Utah? if he wants to act like this sure fine….but own it Harden. and you might wanna lie in the bed you’re creating.

[@BigBen1994]

Harden would just go on tour with Lil Baby lmao 😂😂😂

[@misterclutchabc]

The 76ers should have been crowned NBA CHAMPIONS this year. There is absolutely NO reason why Harden & Embid should have came up short. It was clearly a "tank" job. Like all of the reat of Harden's playoff appeances have been.

[@pesopeso510]

I been wanting a Joel AD swap and then get Kyrie or maxey to lakers somehow. Some chips are falling in Philly that could at least make a trade for Joel a potential. I would love to see Kyrie and Embiid take over when LeBron retires as a pseudo Shaq and Kobe and then reaves can still have room to develop and get paid too.

[@Dejays_lifestyle]

Just end the process

[@jimihendrixwiththesolo3894]

Jimmy , Ben Simmons and Harden smh Philly doing something wrong. Stars get there and don’t wanna play for them

[@bornaseki4195]

I truly hope James Harden never plays in the NBA ever again. After his contract runs out I hope the NBA blacklists him. The man singlehandedly destroyed 2 franchises in 3 years and now the 76ers are on a deadline.

Yes the Sixers control the situation and can block Harden from being a free agent if he chooses to sit out, but that's a dangerous precedent to set as an organization

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

The only downfall to the Sixers is that it puts a $30M cap hold on their payroll if they were to block Harden becoming a free agent. Next offseason is supposed to be the big offseason when the Sixers have a lot of cap space to sign guys.

[@SethWoodsYT]

I used to really like Harden but he's making it hard to vouch for him.

[@itshiho]

This is all weak sauce, Harden waited until he was in China to make that announcement because he knows the Chinese don't like Daryl Morey because of his past comments lol. Have the courage of your convictions to make these type of statements on you own without a bunch of people backing you up.

[@heigherheights21]

Your a 🤡

[@botmonmon6089]

I cant see a winning, level headed organization trading for James Harden. He consistently falls off of a cliff in the playoffs and turns on his team.

[@legendstar3158]

what happen to the view 😒😒

[@CSOne_]

Embiid and Harden are 2 completely different people. I’ve said it before and, I’ll say it again, James Harden has never acted like a player that Championships matter to. That’s worked out fine for him to this point, but not so well for the Teams that needed him to be there when it mattered. After he scored 50 a Game in HOU and they couldn’t Win the Western Conference Finals, I think he’s acted like Winning just isn’t the Most Important thing to him anymore… I believe, Embiid is completely different. Embiid is the type-player you know you can go to War with. The type-guy you want buried in a fox hole with you, because you know he’s giving it all he has every night. Embiid’s hunger, his effort and his desire to Win are evident and, I think it’s ok for him to be at the point of saying “If I’m not going to Win in Philly and it’s a constant soap-opera, I want not part of, then I’m not looking back, life is short and an NBA career is even shorter. I’ll take my chances somewhere else.” James Harden should play for the Globe Trotters and, Joel Embiid should be surrounded by players that share his desire to be Great and settle for nothing less.

[@kerelkeizer414]

Nah don’t give embiid any passes he’s a seller in the playoffs as well lol & James harden atleast dropped 40 twice in that series & im not a fan of either lol

[@UnbearabIe]

So much drama for 2 players that haven’t come close to winning anything. I rolled my eyes when they said Embiid needs a championship team around him. The man can’t stay healthy for a whole playoff run. And we all know the history on J Harden.

[@ryansproviero]

Embiid hasn't spoken against Harden. That leads me to believe they're on the same page. With that in mind, it seems Embiid is supporting Harden in an effort to get Morey fired.

[@randygraham926]

Two guys who collapse in the playoffs together .... perfect marriage!😚

[@Ant-Tee]

They already lost harden they bout to lose embiid too! Cut harden loose and salvage what you can

[@goldengod31]

You have to be crazy to give Harden a Max contract. Morey finessed him the same way he has finesses multiple teams.

[@stillersfan08]

Good take windy

[@admxom]

I wonder if Harden would change his mind and play for the Sixers still if Morey gets fired…after saying he’ll never play for an organization that Morey is in ever again (with this whole liar thing), he might feel differently if he wasn’t there anymore? Otherwise, he’s still stuck in the same dilemma.

This is why the NBA is soft these players can do whatever they want play for whoever no loyalty and why this league at the rate it is going and no structure will run off fans who are real not fake. Stop crying and play basketball get paid and hold up to your contract.
