We had loved each other so much… James Harden e Daryl Morey have been a stable couple in the NBA, first at the Houston Rockets and, after the player’s brief stint in Brooklyn, now at the Philadelphia 76ers. Now, however, it’s all over, Harden in recent hours, during an event he organized, told those in attendance, well captured by various cameras, the following:
Daryl Morey is a liar and I will no longer be part of one of his organizations. Let me say it again. Daryl Morey is a liar and I will no longer be part of one of his organizations.
James Harden: “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of. Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.” pic.twitter.com/AmHJ0WwbF2

The Beard’s words follow news in recent days that Philadelphia had taken Harden off the market, having received no satisfactory offers in recent months. The Sixers superstar had asked for a trade in June, but negotiations for James Harden never got off the ground. Impossible to know what he is referring to by the word “liar,” but Morey’s “lie” could be precisely the promise of divestment that has now failed, however.
Already yesterday it was leaked that Harden would not show up for September training camp should Philadelphia have decided to retain him against his will. This leg-breaking exit by the player only confirms this version.
