Well, it worked for him in Houston… Smh

James Harden is on the way to Sixers training camp with intentions of making a scene, per @wojespn: “James Harden wants a trade. He wants to make the 76ers uncomfortable. So uncomfortable, ultimately, they don’t think they’ll get the best out of him and make a trade.”

I sort of feel bad for Embiid.  I know he's a rival but he doesn't deserve that crap.

Why is Embiid still part of that dumpster fire of a franchise. He should come join the Celtics.

Embiid will have addition by subtraction of Harden. I bet they end up with Herro and a 1st (or whatever is needed to get the trade done).

I can't wait for a competitive GM like Pat Riley trading anything of value for James Harden. I'll be eating popcorn.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Harden =  Talented Toxic waste

Wish he would go to the Heat or Bucks! Guarantee they never sniff the finals too.

Pretty sure Doordash will bringing him Big Mac lunches! LOL

When does Embiid demand trade? KG had it rough too in MN for long tike before he finally joined us.

ClutchFans: Stephen A Smith says James Harden blew his chance with the #Rockets. “James Harden actually talked himself out of a max deal because he went in there talking about how he wanted to return to being that scoring champion and Ime Udoka and them were like ‘Nah, we ain’t trying to have that here. We’re building something a little bit different.’ Had he come in there and said the right things, they would have given him a max four-year deal. He talked himself out of his own max deal.” – via Twitter clutchfans

That would be interesting if true, seeing as Harden shouldn’t have even been talking to the Rockets as he opted into his contract instead of entering free agency.

Yeah sorry but I don't believe SAS with this stuff. He's been proven to be dead wrong numerous times and even got called out on it publicly before by actual players.

This seems pretty extreme even for a guy like Harden who I consider a loser. Coming in and saying "yeah I just want the scoring title, don't really care about the actual title". Bruh. And if that's the case, why does he want to go Clippers, is he winning a scoring title there? Doesn't make much sense IMO.

Could he have fit into one? Maybe Big Baby's old uni.

Since the Lonzo nonsense from SA I think everyone should completely disregard any claims of his to inside information

Will harden actually be engaged is the question.

Sixers imo still the #3 team in the east. I just don't think their roster closes to Boston/bucks.

If they lose harden or he plays like garbagr probably take even a step back. To 5th or 6th
