The Philadelphia 76ers had a quiet offseason and are now the biggest story in the league. James Harden made his desire to be traded clear when he opted into his contract. The ten-time All-Star wanted a max deal, but the Sixers did not offer one. Philadelphia explored the trade market when Harden made the request, but Adrian Wojnarowski reported over the weekend the team has stopped talks.
The Sixers want to bring him to training camp, but Harden is not budging from his stance. The ten-time All-Star even called 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey a “liar” in a recently released video.
