The relationship between James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers management appears to be hanging by a thread this offseason. Initially, it was anticipated that Harden would be securing a substantial four-year deal worth $210 million with the 76ers, but things took a turn for the worse during the negotiation phase, raising questions about his future with the team.
According to recent reports by ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, the 76ers were unsure about the terms of the contract they should offer Harden. In contrast, Kyrie Irving managed to secure a deal with the Dallas Mavericks for three years, valued at $126 million. The internal disagreements within Philadelphia’s front management fueled rumors about Harden’s upcoming contract.
“James felt like Daryl was ghosting him,” one source close to Harden said. “He felt betrayed.”
In a shocking development, communication between Daryl Morey, the 76ers’ President of Basketball Operations, and Harden’s representatives came to a standstill. Sources close to Harden describe the situation as a breach of trust, hinting at Harden’s deep-seated feeling of betrayal.
Harden, who was expecting a contract in the range of the proposed amount, especially after rejecting a lucrative offer from the Brooklyn Nets previously, seemed to disagree with the management’s stance. An insider added,“James takes things very personally. When he feels like he’s been wronged, he can be very stubborn.“
Insider opinions cast a shadow over James Harden’s prospective trade
As James Harden navigates the difficult season of contract negotiations and potential trades, voices from his past resurface, casting doubts on his journey ahead. ESPN reporter Ohm Youngmisuk recently shared information he got from a former friend of Harden, who wished to remain anonymous.
The unidentified source, a former coach, openly discussed his interactions with the NBA star. “James is good until he isn’t good,” the source was quoted saying. This statement closely echoes remarks made by another of Harden’s previous coaches, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing drama.
Earlier this summer, Kevin McHale, Harden’s former coach during his stint with the Houston Rockets, expressed displeasure over Harden’s attitude towards the game in the later stages of his coaching. Harden’s lack of dedication in the period before McHale was fired as head coach was described by McHale as casting doubt on Harden’s professionalism.
