James Harden weighs in on James Harden situation
Harden recently gave an interview with USA Today Sports and the former league MVP was asked to share his thoughts on Lillard’s current predicament with the Blazers. The Philadelphia 76ers superstar got brutally honest in his response with what could be considered a very telling take: “I see both sides because I went through it,” Harden said. “… I wouldn’t want an organization to send someone somewhere where they wouldn’t [want to] be… But then you don’t want to give that player away for nothing. So I get both sides. It’s just finding a balance to meet in the middle and hopefully, both sides can come to an agreement.”

This did not start with James Harden, or Damian Lillard, or Carmelo Anthony. Stars wanting out is a part of the fabric of the NBA. – 10:04 AM

Anthony Puccio: James Harden fires back lol -via Twitter @APOOCH / July 24, 2023
His Twitter bio no longer describes him as an “NBA Player for the Philadelphia 76ers” nor is his location listed as “Philadelphia, PA.” His instagram bio also no longer mentions that he is a member of the Sixers. Harden also posted two cryptic sentences to his Instagram story. “Been comfortable for so long. It’s time to get uncomfortable,” the story post read. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / July 23, 2023
PJ Tucker, Harden’s longtime teammate with the Rockets and Sixers, has come up in trade discussions between the 76ers and Clippers, league sources told HoopsHype. The Clippers covet Tucker’s ability to guard multiple positions and defend the league’s top opposing scorers. Tucker is owed $11 million this upcoming season and has a $11.54 million player option for the 2024-25 season. -via HoopsHype / July 21, 2023
