James Harden‘s off-season has not been the most favorable, to say the least. After taking a pay cut of over $15 million dollars the previous season to assist the team, he was denied a max contract from the Philadelphia 76ers. He subsequently requested a trade from the 76ers, but GM Daryl Morey rejected his specific request to be traded to the Clippers. With the 76ers holding full control in this situation, Harden has expressed his disagreement with their actions.
To kick things off, he removed all mentions of the 76ers organization from his social media handles and posted cryptic messages on Instagram. He further garnered attention by not attending his teammate and reigning league MVP Joel Embiid’s wedding, instead opting to attend a party in Las Vegas. As everyone else prepares for the upcoming season, Harden has been sighted in Shanghai, China.
Prominent NBA superstars like James Harden maintain a significant following in China, which stands as one of the largest markets for the league. Consequently, they frequently visit the country to engage with fans who rarely have the opportunity to witness “The Beard” showcase his skills live. In Shanghai, fans welcomed Harden warmly, swarming him for a glimpse of the former league MVP.
NBA Twitter roasts James Harden after his China visit
Every single time there is even a mention of China with an NBA player, they are heavily trolled by NBA Twitter because playing in the Chinese league is treated as disrespectful to any player as even players who failed in the NBA have dominated in the Chinese basketball league. NBA Twitter went after James Harden following his visit to China. Here are some of the reactions:
While Harden desires a trade to the Los Angeles Clippers, he lacks negotiating leverage. Refusing to play for the 76ers next season would grant the Sixers the authority to prevent him from participating in basketball altogether. Therefore, Harden’s attempts to undermine the training camp and display low effort on the court would not yield favorable outcomes.
To secure a substantial contract, he must demonstrate his capability to lead a team, as even if he is traded, the Clippers may not offer him a lucrative deal at the end of the season. A home-court advantage may determine his future as a player if the longer run is considered. However, Harden’s future remains intriguing as these events unfold.
But what is the home-court advantage in NBA betting, let us understand:
Understanding Home Court Advantage in NBA Betting: How Venue Factors into Wagering Decisions
Home court advantage is very important, but you can’t let it force you into making sports bets or wagering in ways that you wouldn’t otherwise. The advantage is something that should help determine the outcome of your bets, but it shouldn’t determine your bets overall.
If you are using the home court advantage in NBA Betting to determine bets, or as a starting point for making bets, then you are giving it too much credit in your handicapping. Ultimately the team that wins is the one that scores more points, and there is a lot more that goes into that than where the game is played. That’s about making three-point shots, rebounding, hitting free throws and more.
