@Philadelphia 76ers

[Stein] There are now calls for the league to re-investigate the Philadelphia 76ers again to try to assess what Morey allegedly lied to Harden about. If Harden’s claims about being promised a max contract on the back-end are true, the 76ers could be subject to league discipline.

> If Harden is suggesting that the Sixers made some sort of contractual promise last summer — which the team has adamantly denied and maintains it was already cleared of doing — they will certainly be subject to league discipline.

> If Harden is suggesting that Morey promised to trade him in late June after Harden picked up next season’s $35.6 million player option and then reneged on that promise, that is not a violation of league rules even if true.

    yeah I’m sure Morey put this ‘promise’ down in writing like a complete moron. these ‘calls’ are coming from Hardens agent

    Come on the lie was about the trade. If morey left email/text evidence of a max contract handshake deal they would have found it by now (I hope)

    If Morey costs us more draft picks, I swear to God. What a clown show.

    And if they find no evidence suggesting an actual hard promise was made, does Harden get punished?
    I have a feeling the league is reaching a point where they’re gonna want to stop this weird entitled behaviour from the star (or ex-star) players.

    Just give us the death penalty at this point

    Makes sense. It’s obviously we had a hand shake deal. Who cares though. Do we even have any 2nd round picks to lose?

    Lol, gonna get fined for reneging a tamper. This team is about to out due the Flyers in stupidity.

    For reference, the Timberwolves lost 5 first round draft picks in the early 2000s for a similar incident
