The James Harden file continues to ignite! Two days following the announcement of the end of the talks between the Sixers and the Clippers for a possible transfer of the Barbu, this one responded in a way… more than virulent, by directly attacking Daryl Morey.
James Harden is an expert when it comes to forcing his departure: absence from training camp, weight gain… the Bearded man is capable of anything to enforce his transfer request. And he has just proved it once more by dropping a dirty statement regarding his GM Daryl Morey during his tour of China.
“Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be part of the same organization as him once more. I repeat: Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be part of the same organization as him once more.”
This time around, the breakout looks real. And he even said it twice. Already at the beginning of the summer, we understood that something was wrong between Daryl Morey and James Harden when the latter asked for his trade. Reports from various insiders have moreover confirmed that it was following the refusal of his GM to give him a long-term contract that the tenfold All-Star decided to leave Philly.
Could the “lie” to which Harden refers have a link with this long-term contract that he hoped to win? Probably. One thing is certain, this case has created real tension, so much so that the journalist from The Athletic Shams Charania reported during the month of July that the relationship between the two men was “fractured”. Indeed, we are on a beautiful divide…
That will not help the Sixers in their bid to convince James Harden to return for a season with them, as they hoped to do following ending transfer talks. The ten-time All-Star seems very angry once morest Philadelphia and its General Manager, and it is difficult to see how the two camps might reconcile. They still have a few weeks ahead of them to find an arrangement, but the story doesn’t seem to be going to end well…
