James Harden was considered the player who broke the locker room during his time with the Rockets and Nets, because whether during his time with partners Howard or Paul, or during his time with the Nets and teaming up with Durant and Irving, Harden seemed to have a conflict with his teammates and eventually made a trade request.
But Harden doesn't seem to agree with this "impression" of fans about himself:
"It's the result of media hype and I feel like I'm one of the best players in the league, both on and off the field."
For the 76ers, no matter what Harden has been like during his previous time with the Rockets and Nets, at least for now, he and Embiid do have a good partnership effect and can lead the team to win the game.
On the other hand, according to ESPN correspondent Brian Windhorst, after James Harden joined the 76ers and led to a change in Tobias Harris' role on the team, rival executives "have speculated" that the 76ers will push for a deal involving Harris this offseason:
Compared to averaging 14.8 shots per game so far this season, Harris has averaged just nine shots per game in the last two Harden games and has only a poor 27.8 percent shooting percentage. In fact, the reduction of Harris's ball power after Harden's trade is also expected, and it remains to be seen whether Harris can find a way to play next to Harden in the remaining games.
Finally, Harden is about to play his first home game for the 76ers, and for fans, it will certainly be a game worth watching. 76ers head coach Doug Rivers said of James Harden's home debut:
"Listen, it's great, we're excited, the whole city is excited."
The 76ers will host the Knicks on March 3, Beijing time, and this is also harden's first home game after joining the 76ers.
