However after being pretty much indestructible for most of his career he isn’t any more, and has not been fully fit for several seasons now, nor has he stuck with his recent teams.

Someone said to you earlier, most teams in the NBA would be willing to pay whatever it took to get prime James Harden. Isn’t he a broadcaster rather than a coach for the coming season ?. I rather think Doc Rivers did get blame, and rightly so. Harden feels like he is being singled out and used as the scapegoat when he was not even the best player on the team What about the lack of adjustments by doc rivers. Why is only harden getting blame for that Boston series, embiid and maxey didn’t play well either. And he could always say they contacted me during the restricted period to make me an offer and.76ers end up with another tampering charge.īefore you opt into a contract can you have discussions with the team you are opting in with? Either way I think James placed to much faith in Morey to give him a big contract no matter how badly he played in the playoffs. There was no guarantee that James was going to accept the offer that the 76ers presented. Your 2nd point about not answering James call, after being hit with a tampering fine.

After the series 76ers management perception on his worth probably changed drastically. But he did not, after game 1 he had what 1 more good game and that was it. A lot of conversation has taken place which basically says if Harden had played the entire Boston Series the way he did game 1 he was getting a very nice contract. So obviously, James and the Sixers had some sort of communication prior to him opting in. Third, James Harden called Daryl Morey "a liar" for saying he would trade James. Second, if the Sixers really had any intentions of signing Harden, it doesn't take much to answer his call and tell him we just got hit with a tampering fine and we don't want another one, we'll contact you during the appropriate time period. The Houston leaks starting in December sounds like he knew Philly didn't have any interest in a long-term deal. I'm not buying this report for one second.įirst, Harden would have had a pretty good indication if the Sixers were interested in signing him.
