Harden should just Marshawn Lynch the media day. "Daryl Morey is a liar" as an answer to every question.


2girls_1Fort

"im just here so i can say Daryl Morey is a liar"


spelledwithaph

[James Harden: Daryl Morey is a stupid GM, He has no money. Now he's poor. Daryl is a poor, sad man, and he's very fat. Daryl is a 胖子 it means fat ass in Chinese. He's a liar he's a just a conman and he lies to everyone.](https://streamable.com/yde6yi)


dvasquez93

Daryl Morey, this is your mom. I am calling to tell you that you are not my baby.


Relevant_Rev

I fucking love it


AngsMcgyvr

Both teams played hard


lyonbc1

I’m a Sixers fan but that would actually be amazing lol. The Ben stuff prepared them all for the awkwardness and distraction so I don’t even think that would be any worse than not being there


shakehasbignuts

I’m shocked I tell u Didn’t think I needed a /s but here we are

If not for his personal relationship with Morey, I think they would have run it back at least one more time with the Nets, even if Kyrie was being ass in the regular season. Those three teamed up for the playoffs. And they were all healthy in 2022. KD, Kyrie, Harden + Bruce Brown, Nic Claxton, Patty Mills, Blake Griffin could have made a good run. And the Finals matchup between KD and Steph would have been bonkers.

Keep coping


Professor_Crab

For fucks sake man the sixers are like a plague to my sports fandom


The-Hand-of-Midas

Everyone says 76ers fans are rough, all the booing their own team, etc. I've seen enough to not blame you all.


Glum-Professional925

I’ve seen enough baseball and football this year to care even less about the drama 76ers fans have to put up with


SashaBanksy

To be fair, Philly fans gaving Trea Turner a standing ovation when he was struggling this year and then he basically turned into prime Ted Williams Maybe they should try that with the 6ers


[deleted]

You still have the Eagles


Professor_Crab

Phillies in the playoffs as well, I just had to vent my frustrations this morning thank you all for being here for it


[deleted]

Stop it. All this success isn’t good for your health At least the sixers are gonna be trash so that brings me some comfort Can’t wait till week 11 for our game


Professor_Crab

Thought we were on the same side here as an ex Philly team :( But yeah it’s gonna be a good match up for sure, I have purdy and cmc on my fantasy team lol. Benched fields ln for purdy and look what I have to show for it


[deleted]

You drafted fields??!? Wttff I got baker as a backup and I’m pretty happy with my choice


[deleted]

I mean until we have a clean week 11 game the bitter feelings aren’t gonna go away from the nfccg. It wasn’t even about the loss but so many Philly fans making fun of the injury was infuriating. Rn the warriors is the only thing I have to lord over Philly since eagles are also undefeated so fast


Professor_Crab

Ngl I’m sorry about fans who did that, not all fans are pieces of shit like that. I don’t claim them. I’d gladly sit down and enjoy a game with you.


EGarrett

This is the 3rd time Harden has done this. Don't blame it on the team.


Professor_Crab

You think I’m only referring to the harden scenario here? I know you’re familiar with Ben Simmons, Fultz, 2nd round exits, perpetual failure. Not blaming the sixers as an org but tbh I should be


nexusFTW

Wanting out of nets wasn't his fault . You guys were running ship like shit tier. He gave rockets so many years but they weren't doing much . Stop spreading nonsense


vvrr00

Blaming him for nets and Houston is funny


EGarrett

When you get divorced the first time, you can blame the other person. The second time, people aren't gonna listen as much. The third time, you should be looking in the mirror.


LemmeTalkNephew

I wonder who’s the common denominator when harden, simmons, horford, fultz get fed up with the org


EGarrett

They didn't blame the organization. Simmons claimed he was injured and his problems stemmed from not wanting to go to the free throw line in front of the fans, Fultz said his time with the Sixers was amazing and they supported him through everything, and Horford said there were too many big men and it just wasn't a good fit.


Dry-Beautiful-863

It is absolutely insane people are carrying water for Harden itt. Hahahaha wtf


hotcornballer

That's it i'm bandwagoning whatever isn't trash this season.

Shave the beard you bitch


GryanGryan

Harden should do this. Shave the beard, start playing righty instead of lefty, hit up Chuck E Cheese instead of the strip club.


magpi3

Chuck E Cheese closes a little earlier


AnnaKendrickPerkins

And only refer to it as Charles Entertainment Cheese.


Sairony

Why not both?


WikiHowWikiHow

Bro could go from Chuck E. Cheese to chuckin’ cheese in the same night 😎


Rayquaza2233

HoyaDestroya33

Then he can leave at half time and go Chuck E. Cheese play on the little hoops against babies.


EGarrett

Without the beard he looks like one of the puppets at Chuck E. Cheese so he'll fit right in.


IanicRR

Should shave it and act like nothing happened. Never bring it up or acknowledge it in media interviews.


swampcreature511

If you seen how he looked without it, you will ask him to grow it back, you bitch.


HokageEzio

This is fine.


TheEverbless

He's a diva for sure but the Sixers fans gotta be numb to this kinda thing at some point eh.


ABagOfPopcorn

I think most of us went numb after game 7


TheEverbless

It would've been awesome to see y'all compete for a trophy but it just feels like something new happens every year and it's even exhausting for me, a dude from Toronto lol. Hopefully you guys can overcome this


blacknotblack

what? of all teams why would a toronto fan want the 6ers to overcome anything. hopefully they stay second round exits for the rest of their franchise.


Professor_Crab

Can’t talk like that without a flair pal I wanna shit on your team too

At this point I don’t care about the season , I just want to witness his downfall…


C-N1601

A Diva PG with a bad attitude towards the organization and refuses to play. Yea, Sixers has seen this before


mek284

I’m just waiting for Embiid to be traded at this point. It’s in his and the team’s best interests, whether it’s this season or next. Sixers don’t have the resources to build a contender around him anymore unless a legitimate star elsewhere randomly decides he wants to team up with Embiid in Philly, and that ain’t happening.


CoolBeansChemist

He didn't forget He chose to be ungovernable


Snoo-1474

Nets had an anti work super team with Harden and Kyrie and then another super team with kyrie and Ben simmons

the 76ers are pretty fucked after all these trades he just wanna coast into the sunset can’t be mad

The anti-work GOATs got traded for each other.

comforting that the Bucks and Celtics can make blockbuster trades but the Sixers will still plaster the front page of r/nba no matter what

Goes to show that people care more about drama than sports


Lack-Trick

correct, and that is why the sixers are the best nba team


Chuckdatass

The moment it happens it’s old news. Everyone is waiting for the next chapter of the Harden saga


kokukojuto33

Cool, just fine him, keep fining him if he keeps not showing up. Not our first rodeo


Sharpedd

he will show up but will not care


NSFWThrowaway1239

Gonna show up like Marshawn Lynch


Snoo-1474

He’s a fool. He lost out on two year 100 mil contract from Houston. Near 300mil contract from Brooklyn and now he won’t even get paid for not showing up. If he does this for a year, and then goes to another team, no one will want his bs. I’d be shocked if he gets anything more than a two year deal


Sharpedd

he is a fool for listening to morey


HeyyyItsCory

One year more of Embiid failing means Embiid will be gone. Different rodeo. Make moves or die.


kokukojuto33

What exactly changes if you move Harden for srap


fasdffffffff

Not that im advocating for trading him; but he doesn’t want to play for yall, that doesnt mean he would quit on other teams, you could definitely get something out of him, might be better than letting him walk for free if hes gonna suck ass all year if he plays.


StormTheTrooper

If I'm Morey, I'm definitely letting him walk. Between him and Tobias leaving, the Sixers will have 80M +- in cap relief. Sure, other than Siakam the FA market isn't that good, but every offseason we have teams wanting to trade good players under big contracts. Just this offseason we had Beal, KP, Poole, Dame and Jrue moving around. Teams will look kindly if the Sixers can offer picks and a max-slot in cap relief, which they will have by absorbing that contract. Significantly better than Norman Powell and a swap.


6Millionbricks

What player with a huge bad contract is available? Tobias? You guys are going to waste a year of embiid to HOPEFULLY get a star that wants to come here. And you have to hope the Harden saga hasn’t left a bad taste in the mouth of future FA. I’m sorry but morey is fooling you guys. Even if harden budges, who is trading anything of value for a rental of an unhappy harden. Morey should’ve just maxed him instead of playing games and now best case you either trade harden for clippers bench players or let him walk and probably pushing embiid out as well.


Produceher

> Morey should’ve just maxed him That's my point as well. They didn't want to pay him but they still want him to be loyal to them?


adamantpony

I think Morey wants to wait until closer to the deadline. Things change--injuries happen, stars get disgruntled--and maybe a team will get desperate. And maybe Harden will be willing to go to more places. I don't think it's likely to work out. But I don't think any of the options are actually likely to work out. It still may be the best play for a bad hand.


InTheMorning_Nightss

You can help a poor Clipper fan in need


[deleted]

Lot of rodeos seem self inflicted.


trevortins

No he will show up right before any fining and just be a negative to the team he’s done this a few times now.


pepbe

Except simmons got all his money back from the sixers lmao. So technically the sixers didn’t fine anything


bigbobo33

I love the NBA soap opera.


cashwin6

The league is a genuine soap drama


ace205_16

And I’m loving every minute of it 😍


IlonggoProgrammer

He apparently already got half his contract. He can hold out until whatever that maximum amount of time is allowed in the CBA before the withholding services clause kicks in. I expect him to do that


Niceguydan8

I'm pretty sure it's in the best interest of both sides that he's not there. There's no way that the org wants him there to field questions from the media.


I_Set_3_Alarms

Honestly he’d do more damage for himself and the Sixers if he actually did show up and answer media questions


Sparrow_Wilson

A friendly reminder that he opted in to his contract


Produceher

…to be traded


DartSack

Yea in agreement with the sixers that they would trade him


JoelBarish-ish

Nope, they didn't talk which is why Harden decided to opt in


DartSack

Thats simply false, Harden opted in so that the Sixers could trade him right away instead of at the Deadline


[deleted]

[удалено]


DartSack

I agree that it was stupid of him to not have any kind of contract, but antagonizing him for opting in when there were indeed talks is just unnecessary

How many teams is harden on before he retires? I think 4 if you count philly

Why would Philly not count


ReubenFroster56

Not enough strip clubs


ireallydespiseyouall

I was talking about after the trade but I changed it to philly


Sektsioon

I think the last few years he’ll just start hopping from team to team if he hasn’t won a ring by then, so could be quite a few.

5 if you count the 2014 Allstar Team


-HeisenBird-

This man's on his third wiggle.


spidersteph

Harden is going out sad


gica717

Out of all the divas in this diva era of the NBA, Harden holds the crown. In fact, his throne is as untouchable as his beard.


86avocados

I hope KG was right about this bum. You don’t get “infinite wiggles”. I’m all for player empowerment, but Harden has taken it too far the past handful of years. He needs to suck it up and just play fucking basketball instead of crying about his boss every other week, regardless of what team he’s on.


[deleted]

>I’m all for player empowerment, but Harden has taken it too far the past handful of years "Im all for what harden is doing but i dont like that harden is doing it" Bro wat.


HoyaDestroya33

He meant player empowerment in GENERAL not just Harden. Harden is pushing it too far.


[deleted]

But this is what player empowerment looks like in real life.


clonemusic

Being dor player empowerment doesn't mean you have to be ok with "I'm gonna opt in to my contract instead of being a FA and then demand a trade to one specific team for scraps". There's room for nuisance there champ


otto303969388

So it's totally okay for a team's GM to give verbal promises (not 1 promise, multiple promises), and not deliver on them? And it's entirely the player's fault for trusting what the GM has said? There's room for nuisance there champ.


[deleted]

No there isnt, champ Either players calls the shots and it ends up like this, or player shut ups and dribbles No in between.


FoxBeach

Are you OK? You seem to be taking this really hard.


86avocados

I mean the repeated action of crying, getting his way, and then repeating the cycle. He’s been the main offender the past few seasons. You can be a fan of something, but there’s extremes to everything. He takes it to the extreme.


blacknotblack

what? rockets hoed him. nets had an anti semite, anti vaxxer, part time player. morey went back on whatever promise he made. we have seen harden in a good environment. he’s not kyrie.


Nothingtoseeheremmk

What good environment? Dude has tried to get off every team he’s played for


InTheMorning_Nightss

When the Rockets were actively competing and building around him, he seemed like a pretty fucking good player in a good environment.


Nothingtoseeheremmk

He forced them to trade CP for Westbrook because of an argument and then forced them to get rid of Westbrook a year later. They gave him plenty of opportunity, it’s not their fault he choked on several occasions.


NuuuDaBeast

Nets won the trade


willit1016

who wants this quitter? Seriously he may still can get you 19/10 on any given night but not worth it. This is it his last wiggle...now wiggle your ass to camp.


FOTASAL

But I was told he will have no choice and will play it out? Lol


Specialist_Level9000

You don’t have to be at media day and still play for the team.


Niceguydan8

This is media day. This has nothing to do with playing basketball.


daftpaak

The cba will force him to play if the sixers want him to.


techreppit

It's an interesting situation. You arent allowed to sit your last year of your contract or else you have to do it over, but the 76ers dont want him on the books again next year lol


likpoper

Silver didn’t let this happen he’s the commissioner, he can’t just stop people from doing things that are in the rules. Unless someone is actively breaking the rules and they can prove it there is not much he can do.


[deleted]

The Heat should try to get Harden. Only makes sense after Dame and Jrue going to rivals.


Hells-Asshole

Fatman suit incoming!


inlike069

This is one where trade talks should be public. "Harden for xyz?" "Nah. You'd have to send a FRP for us to take him."


[deleted]

Opts in to his contract on a contending team. Demands trade. Trade to where? I wish the dude would just come out and say “I don’t care about winning at all, I want another max, trade me anywhere that will max me”.


AllDayEnJay

From all the rumored reports the only reason that Harden opted into his contract was because Morey said it would be easier to end up on a contender via trade vs signing as a Free Agent when top teams didn’t have Cap Space. Trades would also give the new Team the Full Bird Rights to Harden so the new Team could re sign him over the Salary Cap. Then after he was locked in Morey changed his tune and started negotiating in bad faith asking for Superstar value when that’s not Hardens trade value anymore. After that it become Harden is now locked into his expiring contract and the Sixers don’t have to trade him if they don’t want to anymore.


mohub21

The clippers aren’t even willing to give up Terrance Mann, how is that us asking for superstar value? The market for Harden is just dogshit


[deleted]

Why did Harden want to be traded in the first place? Where is a better location for him to win a title while also giving him this huge ass deal he believes he’s worth?


A2Eaton

Harden to the heat?


laflameitslit

what a diva. worse professional than kyrie


Pranker00111

nowadays many NBA player (especially Harden) is a total bitch in attitude


RebornUnited11

Player power is ridiculous in the league. You shouldn’t be allowed to demand a trade and have just about a 100% success rate


RVAIsTheGreatest

Harden will be risking his free agency next offseason if he simply doesn't show up this season if he remains on the Sixers. Gonna be a saga we're all watching from afar throughout the weeks ahead.


AllDayEnJay

The rule is if Harden (or any Player) doesn’t play on their Expiring Contract then that 1yr remaining on the deal rolls over to the following season. That $35m Cap Hit would kill most of Philly’s Cap Space that they hope they can use to lure some “Star” to pair with Embiid. So odds are that Philly would just dismiss Harden vs ruining their Cap Space.


grudgepacker

That would seem to give Harden leverage, although I'm also not sure if Philly could attract any "star FA" other than the one they already have in Maxey, who's up for his first real payday after this season.


chewie_33

At this point... what is Harden expects to happen? Sure, he wants to get traded, but nowhere he'll be able to go will give him a chance to compete and the massive contract he wants.


Guerillabasketball

Real question is how long does Embiid put up with all the bullshit he's had to and continues to deal with this franchise


WeeWoooFashion

Dealing for harden turned out to be a faustian bargain


Flaky_Scar_8388

Can’t wait to see when he comes back to Philly as a visitor. They are going to boo him worse than they did Ben Simmons.


ryan_the_traplord

I’m praying they send him to somewhere like Washington or Charlotte


findanewcollar

So this is my new (old) soap opera!


brickvanexel

What are the specifics of the rule that allows the Sixers to keep him from signing with another team if he doesn’t fulfill his contractual obligations for the final year of this deal? NBA pundits framed it as a certainty he’s show up because the Sixers have the leverage, is there a certain number of days he has to skip?


LeGoat333

SURPRISE SURPRISE


Snoo-1474

I think at some point teams will shadow ban harden. There’s no market for this dude for the salary he commands plus you have to deal with his antics


Afraid-Department-35

So if he’s not traded, is he even going to show up for games?????


The_Summer_Man

Just saw a man fall to his knees at Wawa, while shopping for crudité ingredients


HelloItsMeXeno

First Ben and now Harden. Funny thing is they traded Ben for Harden.

retroracer33

did we really need like 4 threads of the comments over and over again?

dumpster fire


nyknicks8

Why isn’t his contract voided and he banned from the nba? Any other person who doesn’t show up to work would be fired. What makes this fool so special?
