"inner circle" aka hanger ons who miss the party down in Houston or just trying to get him the max.
No sabotage. It's just Harden that wants more money, so the more hype around him, the more money he could potentially get.
Next contract will be the last big one for Harden.
U went off! Call it how it is
Interesting how they release this rumor right before the Knicks game almost like they're trying to sabotage the Sixers chemistry
Click bait, pure and simple
Yea this was pretty obvious & I'm actually annoyed that this is even out there especially how everyone tends to overreact over the little things. James actually looks happy to play here, he's become a leader, he's playing pretty damn good & above all we are winning games lol. Just doesn't make sense
Well Glenn is getting a pass, but dont think Glenn has anything to do with it. The players are figuring it out for themselves. Embid and Harden are playing the pick and roll and the two man game, kicking it out to the open man. RB your boy George is hitting big shots this year. Like I said this is the most talented team we had. Even when other people said we have no assets couple weeks ago and doing videos on it. I stayed quiet on the player front, execpt for getting rid of Glenn and giving Reed more minutes. Now the players have figured it out, but until Glenn is gone we are still in the same boat. Tho the way the Beard is playing, and if he stays healthy (Rivers packing the minute on him) we got a shot. James wants chips and if we get close he will be back. Harden looks to be having fun, and that goes along way. Harden and Embid perfectly fit together and they have figured it out. They both are hungry for the chip. Let them complain all they want we are gelling even with out Maxie. When we get him back we will have 4 players who can create their own shot, Maxie, Harden, Embid, and DeAngelo Melton. Shake can at times also. We dangrous if we can knock down open shots like we been doing. Oh and let's not forget, the defence has been incredible of late.
James Harden can't leave Philadelphia on a maximum deal of playing a contender like the Houston Rockets since he is playing really good basketball to keep James Harden and Daryl Morey will not leave.
I hope that is the case but if it isn't James harden just f*** up two franchises with all the picks they gave for him and the players that we gave to get them we gave Steph Curry and Andre Drummond away not to mention Ben Simmons but Ben Simmons wasn't doing s*** for us so it doesn't really matter but and the pics we gave for him and what the nets gave for him to Houston to get him originally like I said I hope it's not true I hope it was just clickbait and we keep playing and keep the morale up like we've been doing.
Ngl as a Nets fan,Woj aināt lying,every time he post sum,itās 9 times out of 10 true,last year wen Harden was In Brooklyn and he requested a trade I was shocked,I aināt want to believe it,but deep I knew it was true and boom come trade deadline,he got traded to yāall,The trade helped both teams tho,we been the best time in the NBA since Nash got fired. 20-6 5th in offense and 8th in defense. We got Ben who is a elite defender and playmaker and who can score at times,who playing perfectly in dat Draymond green role,and we got Seth off the bench a elite shooter,Seth averages 9 points on 40 percent shooting from 3 and his a good mid range shooter and can finish around the basket at time and can crest his own shots wen he wants to. Drummond he was a liability in the playoffs,we couldnāt play him,for yāall,yāall are on a 8 game winning streak,yāall got that elite Point Guard Harden who averages 22/7/11 on 44/39/86 shooting splits and make any team his on better,the question tho is will he show up in the playoffs if he do yāall gone be a powerhouse,it would be nice to face yāall in the playoffs,in my respectfully opinion i feel like we should beat yāall in 6 but anything could happen
Woj and ESPN are frauds.
If he leaves please allow him to take PJ Tucker with him. It wouldn't hurt the Sixers they have Shake Milton and Maxey.
Why would Harden want to leave The Sixers when the only reason he left Houston was bc he knew the team wasn't good enough to win and this current team, is worse than the one he left
Naw F that bro! The media hating on the 76ers! Notice how the tv networks like first take, and get up etc.. donāt talk about 76ers win streak! When the Knicks, Nets was on a win streak! They all talk about it! Nets still on they win streak, today they did a quick take on first take. About the Nets win streak, itās really sad!
You got tv analysis like Kendrick Perkins saying crazy stuff! Disrespecting Philly like saying Boston the deepest team in the NBA!š Like come on bro!
People ain't being held accountable for the dumb shit they say SMFH they should be fired 4 that BS.
76ers š 4LIFE š“āŖļøšµ
People that fell for it donāt get it. Why would Houston trade literally all their assets just for Harden. It would only be a win for the sixers considering how much we would take in a trade for Harden.
Rockets don't want harden Philly can keep him we straight he never delivered in the playoffs chock artists to the fullest even with a stacked team he gon choke in the playoffs watch I feel bad for Philly yall think yall got sum special but yall gone find out like us rockets did for 8 years straight got everything he wanted in houston with westbrook cp3 howard and still couldnt do shit in playoffs but it's alright im glad he left rockets gone shine in a few years we got kpj and green we not worried bout harden we don't want him here in h-town
No no.
He aināt, itās been lied about before while he was in Brooklyn . He strictly said if you donāt hear it from me itās not true
I would trade Harden, maybe we could get Lebron James for him with some added players thrown in to make the trade work like korkmaz and thybulle, no picks. It would boost our playoff chances. Lebron would have to demand a trade, he should at this point, he is on a crappy team. Lebron cannot be traded until after Feb 16, he should have the scoring record at that point so there will be nothing left for him to do in LA.
I find it interesting that right after the Report came out the Sixers sign Louis King from the G League. Maybe Hardens team put the report out to force Morey and Ownership to hurry up and get some pieces.
Just doesnāt make any sense for Houston or for Harden š¤£
Morey: WE goinā back to the Rockets.
š – ŠŠSŠ¢ ADULŠ¢ DAŠ¢ING SIŠ¢E šā iš¦
one thing im say about the sixers is that yall need to stop saying harden is the 3rd best player, i like maxy but ur telling me hes better than harden your crazy!! harden can be the best player on philly any night!!!, and yall need to remember that everything Joel is doing Harden already did, everything he does now is record Breaking! he was in the mvp convo with joel 2 years ago before he got injured, i would just like philly to really appreciate Harden because sixers fans were also calling him washed and saying he's not the 1st or second best he doesn't deserve that type of money, etc this man has been a top 3 player if not the best for player 90% of his career, One of the greatest scores of all time, a great rebounder, been top in steals and deflections for years, Always averaged high assist even while dropping 40, 50 point triple doubles, hes the only player with a 60 point triple double, he gave every team in the league 30+ points a game without HELP!!!! been a really good passer and playmaker to the best in the league to become one of the greatest playmaker/passer of the ball, extremely durable esp for the amount of games and mins he plays! and has always carried his team!!! give the same energey when he isnt playing well philly and yall could have a nice DUO for some years to come with the great compliment of maxy and tobias!!
Morey is in Philly. Itās the Philadelphia Rockets with his former Rocket mates here. Doesnāt make any sense. Heās not going to pull a LeBron and go back. Just a leverage play from his camp if anything. Woj just picked up this tip like finding a $10 bill on the ground.
Woj wasnāt the first to report it. I believe he said that to boost his leverage this coming off season for a bigger contract. I doubt he really wants to go back there now
Woj is garbage. Lib tard
Harden not leaving as long as sixers trade Tobias and do whatever needs to be done to surround him and embid with talent they need to take that nxt step aka attach Maxey high value asset to Tobias and see whatās on the market of what they could get they need 2 high quality 3 n d wings and a back up big . Because against a team like Boston / nets they donāt have the personale to slow down not stop any pernial high caliber guards . If we being honest melton earned his starting position over Maxey because heās a legit 2 way play defensively it has shown on his impact and emergence of shake off the bench has made having guards that can score not the teams priority Ben Maxey better then either scoring the sixers gotta address the weakest era the back up 5 and high caliber 3 n d wings im talking guys like jerami grant , Robert Covington etc adding 2 players like that completely change the team and the narrative because your not forced to start a guy like pj who can still be serviceable but in limited minutes and way more impactful . Ima reparat again Maxey is the promblem but heās the solution the real promblem is Tobias Harris salary and him not living up Nvr did product of Elton brand mistake and Litteraly hoed the franchise. But Maxey and Tobias canāt be let go for nothing it gotta make sense for the sixers !! Potentialy a trade with Dallas needs to be considered bullock, smith , wood is the only trade from Dallas that valid because your getting 2 3 n D wings and a back up big that can give u 20,10 easy off the bench and him and harden game fit perfectly something weāve ard seen! 2 other realistically trades area hornets die rozier, bridges , oubre, Kai jones but bridges the rozier and Maxey cancel out bridges is the main part where he at šÆ is better then Tobias because heās way more athletic and a 2 way player , oubre wing defender , Jones an athletic back up 5 .the last realistic trade is Chicago bulls no secret thier under achieving and itās rumored demar and Lavine both tryna get outta there both had a falling out might be time for Chicago to hit the mint reset so in exchange for Maxey Tobias , thybulle reed they give up demar , Caruso ,willams , drummond
He's not leaving g Woj. Love to start trouble. Think about it, he got the Boston coach fired he tried to get kyrie fired now it harden..Harden… then man is racist
When I seen the clip of woj saying that I felt like it was intentionally trying to cause problems. Like even if harden was feeling this way thereās no point to come out and say this other than trying to cause static. Shits corny af
One of 4 theories:
1) Like RB said: Media wanted to click bait especially with the āironicā timing
2) A contract CHESS MOVE
3) Some major folks related to VEGAS had money the Knicks
4) They donāt want the to be great
Itās PHILLY Vs EVERYBODY at this point. š„šš„
Yeah something funny. All because we on top š© we š„ let's go Philly
Woj from ny heās a knicks fanš ofc he was tryna sabotage he couldāve drop that anytime plus I feel like he was lying
Whatās next kd back to okc? AD back to the pelicans? Bleacher report showed the top 4 teams in the East and the sixers somehow arenāt there 6:42 was hysterical š
Harden loves that Houston club and night life this is clearly not about winningā¦ā¦
And at this point Houston shouldnāt be interested they have to go all in and develop there young talent Harden would only be in the way
If Harden leaves were fucked ill.tell you thst right now we need to keep a championship team together like other teams do like the bucks like the Celtics nd alot of other teams we need to keep building uo.this team with Harden Embiid nd Maxey we need to build around them get rid of everyone eles nd stack this team qith 3ndD players
Well, you know what Eastwood always says… "If WoJ didnt report it, it aint true"
I think he probably does wanna go back to rockets, would hold a special place in his heart. He just might wanna retire there, fortunately for us he doesnāt really fit the timeline of the rockets so maybe we can get another season or two out of him
Itās the league tryna destroy chemistry within Sixers locker room.the NBA donāt want the sixers doing well
Too many coincidences
Harden loves Houston the night life he was abuse star there in not surprised at all
It's definitely not true, i have no clue why they hate on us so bad, cant blame it on the tank years since they don't keep the same energy with OKC , so..
Na…WOJ needs to take all that SMOKE ā¼ His credibility has sucked since the Ben/Harden Trade….He was exposed
It's fine. I'm sure 76ers will be fine. Everyone understands that the game is now. What happens with trades – happens. Just gotta stay in the present
