James Harden’s offseason has been riddled with dissent from the Philadelphia 76ers.
He’s been on record requesting a trade from the organization and has seemingly done everything he can to disassociate from the team.
The 76ers haven’t made any statements on Harden’s situation except insisting he will not be traded.
Harden, on the other hand, has been. anything but silent.
In a recent conversation shared via Shams Charania, Harden said, “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”

Morey is the current president of the 76ers.
These comments from Harden certainly don’t help his cause, as he is one of the NBA’s superstars.
Harden played in 65 games last season and continued to be a fan-favorite in Philadelphia.
Generally, their fans are also unhappy when the league’s elite are unhappy.
In their mind, why would the organization treat them poorly, especially when they bring the team money and success?
This is a situation to monitor, especially since Morey hasn’t responded to Harden’s latest comments.
Fallout will certainly ensure, and the backlash that Harden is slated to get remains to be seen.
Will the organization dig in its heels further, putting the ball back in Harden’s court?
Regardless of the next steps, Harden’s comments provide additional drama in what has been a relatively lackluster NBA offseason.
