It looks like no James Harden in the scrimmage. He wasn’t among the players introduced. #Sixers – 12:15 PM

James Harden was not introduced on either team and doesn’t look to be on either bench. Joel Embiid, who is in a cutoff sweatshirt and does not look like he’s scrimmaging today, was intro’d. – 12:14 PM

James Harden is here at the Sixers’ public scrimmage in Wilmington. He hasn’t yet played in a preseason game and said yesterday in his first comments since his holdout that he believes his fractured relationship with Daryl Morey is beyond repair. pic.twitter.com/JSfrIOvXi1 – 11:31 AM

How will the James Harden trade saga come to an end? Will the 76ers end up dealing him to the Clippers? If so, what would Harden do for Los Angeles’ title hopes?

Reporting for @SportsCenter: James Harden and Daryl Morey have been inextricably linked to one another for more than a decade. So when Harden compared the deterioration of his relationship with Morey to a failing marriage Friday, it was an apt analogy: pic.twitter.com/5zvYk5sbwJ – 8:05 PM

Don’t want to over-inflate today’s seven minutes with James Harden, but it’s all we have to go off right now. Here’s what these three quotes reveal about his perspective, what still doesn’t add up and what questions still linger inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-… – 5:12 PM

More on this storyline
Poole sees more similarities between the situation he has in Washington and what Harden had in Houston. “I feel like he did it in a really good way. The team was behind him, the organization was behind him, the coaches were behind him. That gave him the trust and the confidence to go be him and be himself. That’s what is going on over here,” Poole said. “Coach Wes is allowing me to be aggressive, play my game, so are my teammates. I feel like I studied enough to go about this properly and it will be cool to see how it plays out.” -via monumentalsportsnetwork.com / October 14, 2023
For another layer of irony, Poole shared a conversation he had with Harden last season during a game between the Warriors and Sixers. Harden congratulated Poole on his new contract and noted how he was fortunate to win a championship ring before getting paid. Harden remarked how his path was reversed. He made his money in the league, then went out searching for a chance to win a title. “S—, if he didn’t run into the Warriors one of those years he might have a ring,” Poole said. -via monumentalsportsnetwork.com / October 14, 2023
The Utah Jazz recently traded away Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. During their era, why could those talented teams not take the next step? Derrick Favors: I think we just got hurt at the wrong time. That last year, when we went to the playoffs, and we lost to the Clippers, they were a good team, but I think we could’ve beat them, but Mike Conley ended up getting hurt. Donovan Mitchell also got hurt. We were down our two leading guys. You’ve also got to remember that we were going up against Houston and Golden State when they had the best record in the league and the best team. Houston had James Harden at the time, winning 65 games. I think some of it was matchups, going against two historically great offensive teams. We couldn’t match up with them, but who could in the league? If it wasn’t for Golden State, Houston probably would’ve won championships. If it wasn’t for those two teams, we could’ve won a championship. -via HoopsHype / October 14, 2023
