James Harden: “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of. Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”

Sounds like Harden is salty because Morey isn't willing to give him that long term max contract he was possibly promised (verbally). 😮🤔

Also worth noting...it looks like he's in China saying this? Morey's favorite Country.

What a mess lol :rofl: can this please end

There’s also new language in the CBA that would prevent him from becoming a Free Agent if he refuses to play

CBA language for Withholding Services:

Withholding services: A player who withholds playing services called for by a Player Contract for more than thirty (30) days after the start of the last Season covered by his Player Contract shall be deemed not to have “complet[ed] his Player Contract by rendering the playing services called for thereunder.” Accordingly, such a player shall not be a Veteran Free Agent and shall not be entitled to negotiate or sign a Player Contract with any other professional basketball team unless and until the Team for which the player last played expressly agreed otherwise.

Harden took a "pay cut" to return last year, did he not? I'm assuming Morey promised him something in return and went back on his word.

Harden is a drama queen but this is a bad look on Morey and Philly for sure. 76ers going nowhere anytime soon! Embiid will be outta there in due time as well

Part of me thinks Harden was just pandering to China, after the backlash in the past when Morey spoke out publicly in support of Hong Kong's battle for democracy.

I'm sure Harden's PR team freaked out when he said this lol. It doesn't help him get traded any sooner really.

At least you got 2 more years of P. J. Tucker out of this Morey lie.

This team needs a PJ Tucker badly. He's a valuable piece, no real issue with signing him.

PJ Tucker & Pat Beverly on the same team now. Should be interesting. DAWGS

What a shit show

Harden is a clown but we all know morey promised him more in his next contract if he took a paycut last year. Which he did.

Zero chance Embiid sticks around.

Morey is going to get canned and then Embiid will demand a trade. Rev up that process. It's tanking time in Philly.

Who knows what was promised. This is a trend for Harden though.
