NBA reporter Marc Stein believes there’s a strong likelihood that James Harden re-signs with Sixers.
Stein suggested that The Beard’s desire to win a championship might be stronger than wanting to return to Houston.
But there’s another reason why Harden is likely staying with the Sixers, Stein said.
“There is a loyalty factor for Harden to weigh after Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey spent the bulk of his first 15 months in the City of Brotherly Love trying to acquire him, finally succeeding in February 2022,"

“An NBA league source tells me the desired outcome for the Sixers is still to do a deal with James Harden that makes sense in the short and long term for both sides”
Feels like he’s coming back now with the latest reports. Anything can happen especially if a team gives him crazy $ but all the recent buzz is seemingly pointing to the Sixers
