Harden scolded Morey, causing heated discussion
Harden's public bombardment of Morey caused a huge heated discussion, not long ago love you, Harden scolded Philadelphia executives by name, bluntly: He is a liar, I will never work with him on a team again. I repeat, he is a liar and I will never work with him again!
Philadelphia local reporter Howard Eskin retweeted a video of Harden shelling Morey and wrote: "I'm not a fan of Harden, but Morey is a terrible executive." I would say he's a liar, he cheated every team in the NBA, he caused the 76ers' current disaster, he made a mess.
Keith Smith even commented: "In the whole Harden and Morey situation, no one is 'right'. It feels like both sides are more wrong than right. Maybe Harden was cheated, or at least he felt cheated. But this guy also basically gave up on the Rockets and Nets, so he's not clean himself. What a mess. ”
Keith Smith also commented on the Harden deal, writing: "I think the value of his trade is still the same. He is still a good and efficient player, but he is getting older, his contract is expiring and he has a history of being unhappy and wanting to leave. There are some known things that cause his trading value to not be very high. But I don't think that changed it.
Chris Mannix said Harden blasted Morey as a liar for two reasons — one was that last offseason, Morey agreed to give Harden a big contract this summer after his salary cut, but then Morey broke his word; Second, Morey agreed to trade Harden, but now they will reportedly bring Harden back to training camp, which makes Harden very uncomfortable; There is currently an unstable standoff between Harden and the general manager.
As for the situation of the 76ers management, 76ers reporter Keith Pompey said on the show recently: The problem for Morey is that when Rivers is in charge, you can blame him, you can blame the "process", you can blame other people. Now, all eyes are on Morey. If they still stop at the second round in the new season, Morey will need to take responsibility and he could leave.
The secret reason for Harden's application to leave the team was revealed
According to NBC Sports Philadelphia 76ers reporter John Clark, before the start of the offseason free agency, the 76ers never had any discussions with Harden and his team, did not reach an agreement, made an offer, or even exchanged views; The 76ers told Harden and his team that they would meet with them again when the second free market opened. This made Harden and his team very upset and opted for the executive player option and applied for a trade.
The 76ers reportedly looked into a possible trade scenario, but no one from the Clippers or other teams could satisfy them.
