James Harden’s future with the Philadelphia 76ers appears to be uncertain. He recently opted into the second year of his contract with the goal of working out a trade, specifically to the Los Angeles Clippers. No deal between the two teams appears to be imminent, however, and Harden might be stuck on the Sixers’ roster to start the season due to the lack of willingness to get a deal done.
In recent weeks, reports have come out detailing Harden’s frustration with the 76ers. He is reportedly very unhappy that Daryl Morey, Sixers President of Basketball Operations, let him test Free Agency and didn’t work out a long-term deal for the former MVP.
