[O’Connor] Harden seems to suggest he & Morey had handshake agreement last year— NBA conducted tampering investigation and docked Sixers 2nd-round picks (for PJ/House), but from all the confiscated phones and emails, league found no evidence of agreement on long-term contract b/t Harden and 76ers.

    O’Connor not know what a handshake means?

  2. Niceguydan8

    The entire point of a handshake agreement is that there is no paper trail to avoid being found in situations exactly like this investigation.

    I don’t understand why this has to be said.

  3. 3_Sides_To_A_Story

    Harden had a handshake agreement with his fat suit.

  4. SochanMVP

    Doesn’t mean there isn’t texts/phone calls harden can show. They wouldn’t have taken his phone.

  5. Just need the player and agent who were in the meeting to confirm if a handshake deal was said in a meeting and nothing was written. The Clippers got fined for offering DJ endorsement deals. Nothing was written, but it was said.

  6. Koc is literally the leader of the Morey fanclub

  7. Morey told Harden to bring in the sheets last year

  8. KYRIE542

    KOC is a dumbass, dude fell off so quick. The point of a hand shake deal is that there is no trails to be found of it.

  9. RyanBlackburn

    I wonder if Harden would go as far as telling Silver what happened if there was indeed tampering just to take down Morey if Morey doesn’t trade him.

    While this is written by KOC and there easily could’ve been a handshake/verbal deal, this is why it baffles me why everyone is suddenly up in arms as if we know there was a promised extension. He could very easily be upset at Morey that he isn’t genuinely trying to find him a trade partner.

    Harden got got, and now he wants to play the victim.

    Frankly, both sides could be in the wrong here, but a contract is what a contract is.

  12. this_place_stinks

    Ummm guys? Handshake agreements are, well, handshakes. They’re not documented. If they were documented they would just be agreements, not handshake agreements

    Forget Comp and Simnation, the sixers are the biggest drama story you can find anywhere lol.

  15. WobbleKun

    nah theres a napkin out there somewhere. find that smoking gun!

  16. SoKrat3s

    And as of now there is no evidence the 76ers ever had any intention of signing Harden to a long term contract.

  17. likpoper

    Harden is dumb to agree to it. Always look out for yourself

  18. MF_Jones_6172

    I bet he fully intended on honoring that handshake agreement too. But went the league announces a crack down on flopping, his value tanked.

  19. HoyaDestroya33

    You don’t talk bout shady transactions electronically. Always in person.

  20. PrestigiousTowel2

    Pretty funny to see the Ringer guys (and other media members) carry Morey’s jockstrap because he throws them scraps on their podcasts every now and then. This article read like a fucking propaganda piece.

  21. austyV1

    Why does The Ringer still employ this dude

  22. Gontofinddad

    What has to happen in this situation to make it not tampering?

    The idea of, “hey we want to pay you less right now to build a better team around you. But just for right now.”

  23. knownsportsenjoyer

    Only solution is to run a black light over both their right hands and see who’s lying

  24. It was so dumb of Morey to come out and brag about how he got Tucker/House and get busted by the league last year, like what’s there to brag about bringing in those past their prime role players

  25. hotpocketthrowaway

    Lol KOC is an idiot Morey simp. Does he think “handshake agreement” refers to a TLS Handshake or something? The whole point is so that it won’t turn up a digital/paper trail

  26. AndywanFett

    Kevin O’Idiot has always been pro front office.. they feed him the news.

  27. Nat_Feckbeard

    KOC going to bat for daryl, what else is new

  28. electricHats75

    Lol Harden is trying to out their GM for not breaking the rules for him

  29. Hot_Injury7719

    KOC isn’t used to handshakes (or the touch of a human in general) so I don’t blame him for not knowing this.
