James Harden has made clear and will reiterate whenever asked that his relationship with Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey is beyond repair, and he has shown he’s willing to do just about anything to get his escape.
Harden will keep the pressure on Morey, who appears to be clueless as to how this type of distraction will affect the existing players on the roster should Harden arrive at training camp in early October.
The NBA is a relationship business, and the Harden-Morey business has been fruitful for Morey, who garnered the “genius” label by poaching Harden from Oklahoma City before the start of the 2012-13 season.
