In light of recent events with the trade talks and dramatic shifts in the league in the NBA offseason, there has been a revelation. A report surfaced stating that former NBA star Kevin Garnett thinks 76ers’ guard James Harden needs to be careful with his position in the league.

For quite some time in the offseason, 76ers’ guard James Harden has made it clear that he doesn’t want to stay in Philadelphia and is looking for a trade.

There is certainly a chance that the Sixers can make a trade happen for Harden to move out and look for something else. But the former NBA player Matt Barnes proposes that, given Harden’s history with jumping teams and trades, the NBA can just stop catering to his demands.

“I think James has to be careful because the NBA doesn’t need him. The NBA doesn’t need him anymore, I’m all for player empowerment. But he forced his way out of Houston, forced his way out of Brooklyn. Now, he’s going to force his way out of Philly. He’s got so much talent and a lot of game left, but he could talk himself out of the league, which is crazy to think,” he said.

Matt Barnes and Kevin Garnett have an honest conversation and share their views about this. Garnett, while agreeing with Barnes’s opinion on the Harden situation, says, “When you wiggle your way out, you only got one or two wiggles “You ain’t got infinite wiggles.”

This definitely makes it clear about the fact that Harden might not get a trade of his choice, given his past experiences. Garnett warns that this might threaten his position in the league. According to reports, the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks are the 76ers’ guard’s preferred choice. However, as of now, nothing about this trade is certain.
