[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?
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.
Harden had a handshake agreement with his fat suit.
Doesn’t mean there isn’t texts/phone calls harden can show. They wouldn’t have taken his phone.
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.
Koc is literally the leader of the Morey fanclub
Morey told Harden to bring in the sheets last year
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.
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.
Here we go
Ummm guys? Handshake agreements are, well, handshakes. They’re not documented. If they were documented they would just be agreements, not handshake agreements
Kevin O Conflicted doing damage control for his homeskillet
Forget Comp and Simnation, the sixers are the biggest drama story you can find anywhere lol.
nah theres a napkin out there somewhere. find that smoking gun!
And as of now there is no evidence the 76ers ever had any intention of signing Harden to a long term contract.
keep burpin up that party line
Harden is dumb to agree to it. Always look out for yourself
I bet he fully intended on honoring that handshake agreement too. But went the league announces a crack down on flopping, his value tanked.
You don’t talk bout shady transactions electronically. Always in person.
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.
Why does The Ringer still employ this dude
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.”
Only solution is to run a black light over both their right hands and see who’s lying
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
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
Kevin O’Idiot has always been pro front office.. they feed him the news.
KOC going to bat for daryl, what else is new
Lol Harden is trying to out their GM for not breaking the rules for him
KOC isn’t used to handshakes (or the touch of a human in general) so I don’t blame him for not knowing this.
