Many NBA players have stayed silent during the debacle between James Harden and Daryl Morey of the Philadelphia 76ers.
That’s because most of them can understand both sides of the argument.
Patrick Beverley said as much during a conversation with Barstool Sports.
“I understand both sides. I’m not here for the bad James Harden press at all…I came to Philly hoping he’d be here,” Beverley, who recently signed with the Sixers, said.
“On Daryl’s behalf, his job is to get the best product for as cheap as possible. Everybody knows Daryl. That’s how Daryl works,” Beverley added, showing that he really does see where both men are coming from.

Beverley made it clear that he would also be upset if he had been offered a deal by a team president and never received it.
Therefore, he can comprehend why Harden would be frustrated enough to speak out.
At the same time, Beverley knows that Morey’s job is to spend the team’s money wisely and get the most bang for his buck.
Beverley actually has a close relationship with Morey.
Morey was the one to offer Beverley his first NBA contract, bringing him from playing overseas to the Houston Rockets back in 2013.
His relationship with the president of the team is one of the reasons why he signed a new deal with the Sixers just weeks ago.
Of course, Beverley is close with Harden too.
That means he is one of the few people to intimately understand this situation and all of the people involved.
For his sake and the sake of his new team, Beverley hopes that all of this gets resolved soon.
