> Since arriving in China, Harden also expressed to fans a desire to play a season there.
> “Every time I come here, the love is just like … it’s crazy, you know what I mean?” he said. “So I feel like they deserve to actually see me come play here. … Love is always crazy here.”
> But playing in China might not be as easy as Chinese fans would like if Harden isn’t traded to another NBA team soon and remains adamant about not playing for the Sixers.
> According to the collective bargaining agreement, any player who “withholds playing services for more than 30 days after the start of the last season covered by his contract” could be deemed to have violated his contract and forbidden from entering free agency and signing with another professional team until the team he last played for “expressly agrees otherwise.”

outjerked again
Send him over, goodbye!
I predicted this. I would do the same thing I can’t blame him. Would u rather be treated like a god in China who are our future overlords anyway or a fatass bum who flops all the time in America? The choice is clear.
I’ve always thought about players doing this at the end of their careers. You’ve already got the money and your NBA legacy so why not go and be a mega superstar in another country. Heck, if the Basketball Hall of Fame includes international play, whats stopping someone borderline from taking their talents overseas and dominating that league to boost their resume with like 3 international league MVPs lol.
The jokes write themselves
Wait until he sees his contract there
The harden/Morey war of attrition is going to be fun as hell
Lol, no way.
James Harden in China: From breaking ankles in the NBA to potentially breaking contract rules?
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy?
The Beard going full China shill wasn’t in my cards for this off-season
China Harden might be the greatest player ever
LMFAO oh brother
I’ve really done a 180 on Harden in the last few years. I couldn’t stand him and thought he was a foul baiter.
You wanna get weird? Let’s get weird man
How are the strip clubs in China?
Morey in shambles.
He just wants money at this point. I think he just embraced the fact that he will not gonna win the championship and just want to enjoy his life at strip club
Bros CCP social credit is off the charts this week.
Woj: 4 years / 860 million yuan, the contract include a team option
Can’t believe this isn’t the jerk sub
He’s feelin the Asian Persuasion. Dude wants to be in the club with 6 girls around him.
Elite tampering by the Shanghai Sharks
Harden really said “time to learn Chinese buddy”
Wait until he finds out that you can’t even eat bananas on Livestream let alone strip there.
It feels inevitable at this point. He’s going to average 50ish ppg for a few years and motor scooter into the sunset.
Age 40 Harden averaging 40 in China isn’t that farfetched.
Now this is off-season material
How would he be forbidden from joining another team…especially china? When has china given a shit about anything the US says? I’m guessing he could go to china, china pays him, but sixers would have to sue him for whatever he earns in china. Right? What power would NBA have over china to prevent the signing?
He’s actually gonna learn chinese holy shit buddy
The strippers in Shanghai are off the charts.
This is PR, nor journalism. Pompey is a joke.
He just sold so many sneakers just by saying that. Well done grift
