I think he should've gone a little longer into morey.

But this is all 100% fair.

I'm certainly rooting for fat suit harden because it's in my best interests for him to do it.

But it's not a good look.

It is wildly entertaining

harden needs to get that this is basically it for him. Wherever he goes he needs to be a model citizen to get one last payday.

The heat running his contract in tandem with Butler's would make the most sense.

You rebuild around Bam at that point.
I was interested as well. Seems like nobody has the goods on a supposed promise that Morey made. Clearly Harden believes promises were broken. His actions in taking less last summer are consistent with his belief they’ll catch him the next summer. At the same time, all we have is Harden’s words and actions and they aren’t very reliable.

No one in the sixers org would admit to anything cause that’s joe smith territory

He seemed pretty certain he lied to harden in that as well.

Considering how personal their relationship is, it literally might just be those 2 people who know what was promised

Don’t forget it’s not in Hardens financial interests to release it now

His contract would be voided and no one has cap space

He’d lose a ton of money himself

Hence, we are where we are

And it may be that Harden totally jumped to conclusions in his delusional mind. Can you imagine him telling Houston he was going to make a run at the scoring title on their dime with all the development they have to do?

I don't agree with Stephen A much, but I do on this,

As for whether or not Morey lied to Harden...I think it may depend on what one considers a lie.

I think Morey told Harden that he would trade him as quickly as he could and Harden either only heard the "quickly" part and not the "as he could" part, or his definition of quickly is different.

Either way, I think Harden feels he was lied to...but...as Stephen A said...even if he was lied to, there are a whole lot of people affected by this who didn't lie to him.

He's just a horrible teammate.

Nobody can say he isn't.

And like ex players are pointing out Harden should have known not to expect anything that wasn’t in writing because of the way he has done teams.

Did Ham go home in the middle of the 3rd? He pulled all 5 starters off the floor and put a horrible mix of players on the floor for the rest of the third and are starting the fourth with one sub. No PG or even creator, both backup bigs with Rui, Reddish and Christie. Is DHS not available? It's been a 20 pt disparity since. Ugly way to finish off the preseason lol.
