James Harden calls Daryl Morey a 'liar,' says he will never play for him again | NBA | SPEAK
Спорт
The James Harden-Philadelphia 76ers saga continues. During an Adidas event in China, Harden ripped 76ers president Daryl Morey saying that he quote: 'is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of. Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of.' This came two days after the Sixers ended trade talks surrounding the ten-time All-Star. Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor and LeSean McCoy react to Harden's comments.

Rock in span here, when I saw James Harden give up all those millions last year, I said to myself, what a freaking idiot. Does he not realize the NBA looks at him like he’s 158 years old. You don’t give up that money. There is a soft cap in the NBA, if they wanna acquire players, it’s up to them to pay the cap penalties. Not the player.
Joy got it right in a nutshell. Harden knows his max days are over and Maury is the only GM he can finesse out of max deal & it didn't work now he's angry.

Harden is believed to be the 2nd best player on the 76'ers, due to his legacy in Houston. Truth be told Maxey is the best option now in Philadelphia after Embiid, not Harden. All Harden has done is sentence himself to yet another "I'm not happy, trade me" season after doing the same in Houston, and Brooklyn. Plus no teams are going to want to take him, unless it's at a greatly discounted price.

Under contract, his money needs to be matched. That severely limits the Sixers options. Even more since he is on record saying he only wants to play for the Clippers. He's trying to force the Sixers into a bad deal. He isn't doing any favors. Him taking the payout last year was mutually beneficial if the team won. It didn't, largely because he didn't perform at the end. They CAN'T pay him max money. He isn't a max player, and he is using spin to make some people think he's being wronged.

Great show guys
It bothered me when Joy said that he didnt do his job. Harden is oneof the only reasons why Embiid did so good. He literally led the league in assists, he assisted the MVP the most and helped him win that MVP. Embiid had a historic season partly because harden set him up. Harden basically won two playoff games by himself. However, no one mentioned that Embiid got hurt and left harden to most of the heavy lifting by himself. Harden did his job, he wasnt the main star, his job was to help and embiid be the main event. He averaged 21 6 10 on nice efficiency, he was snubbed on the all star list last year. Now does he underperform at times yeah, but saying he aint doing his job just wrong

Ok fine you have valid points. But that doesn’t translate into a max contract automatically. Regular season stats are nice, but in playoffs you HAVE to perform to earn your worth. So in the 7 game series against Boston he played great 3 out 4 games, and others were stinkers. So for a max contract is valued on PERFORMANCE.

Finally analysts making some sense on this.... At some point people have to face the fact and realize, it can't always be everyone else when there's a common denominator with a player. You understand it can't be everyone else when a player has an issue and wants to force a trade. It's usually the person that has the problem everywhere he goes... Harden seems to be the issue.. He thinks he's worth that much, play the year and see what you get when you are actually a FREE AGENT!! He knows no one wants him for that money. He's not getting a Max Deal. That's why he's pushing. Rickets didn't want him. Clippers didn't want him enough. That's why they weren't offering a good trade package. Harden knows no team is going to give him that long a contract or max or super max money. It's a business, and the team has to do what's right for the team. I'm tired of players threatening to sit out, not play, and all that BS. It's BS!! The league needs to stop this From being allowed to happen. Simple!! You don't Play... No Pay!! Put it to an end!! Honor your Contract!! Become a Free Agent!!
one thing I learned just about business period on a small or larger level, nothing is promised. Doesn't matter what your field of work is. As great as Harden is, if he was winning he'd get even more money. Look at Bron, Curry, etc. They do not take pay cuts and they win. You take a pay cut to play with them pause, its not the opposite.

Harden will go down as the biggest cancer is sports
While I'm disgusted in James' attitude, professionalism and performance, this is ALL on Morey. Be a man and tell him from the gate "Your style of play isn't going to get us to a win and therefore I can never give you a max deal. This isn't like how things were in Houston. I'll get you as much as I can but I will not promise or infer a max deal anywhere down the road here with this or another organization. If you want to walk, on the strength of our relationship, I'll help you do that to make sure it's player/team friendly."
It take two teams to deal. The sixers can put you on the market but nobody is biting and that has a lot to do with his performance in the playoffs. At the end of the day the sixers can’t trade him for Pennie’s cause they are contenders…and no team is trying to help another team win. James shouldn’t have signed and moved on.
remember in the CBA he cant do anything unitl the team moves him.
Harden knew he wasn’t valued like he thought he was idk why he’s surprised lol if he thought he was worth the max he would’ve opt out and became a free agent, teams make space for guys they want, Harden just didn’t have a market.

This is all wrong. The trade didn’t involve Harden opting in. It involved finding a trade partner that is willing to pay Harden, then do a sign and trade. Harden knew that wasn’t going to happen and prioritized his money. That makes it impossible to trade him.
Daryl didn’t have a team that could move to the third round. His job is to build one. The direction they chose doesn’t include James so the right thing to do is trade him and not expect a huge return when you don’t even see it yourself. I think the lie was really the opt in and we will trade you.

Resign Harden on a 3 year max and use Tobias and fillers to upgrade the wing positions. Instead they signed vet minimums suggesting a mini rebuild for cap space. Iam sure they will do a dump to stay under tax this year. They are not trying g to contend this year, true contenders push up to the second apron. Harden and Embiid know this.
It’s time to Black Ball James. He is tone def about the fact he’s almost washed up. There is no real market for him and he’s going after the one man who have saved him a few times in the NBA. I wouldn’t play him until he can be traded. James is an @ hole anyway and has taken advantage of his situation like he’s Kobe Brayan’s or something. The man has never won a a championship and James acts like he’s the best player in the league. The NBA has early retired several players. Remember Latrell Spreewell said he can’t feed his family with $15 million? Out of the League. Allen Iverson refused to come off the bench to accept his new role, out of the league. I can go on and on. It’s time for James to face reality. There is a reason he opted in. No one else was going to give him that type of money.
Bro I thought that was Alex jones in the thumbnail lol
Can't blame Harden for not being able to win with Embiid I'm not sure anybody can the man averages drop almost 10 points in the playoffs

What's funny is you can say the same thing about Harden.

It’s not entirely Hardens fault, but he does have some blame here.

Harden may not get another max. But he played with so many all stars and good teams. Idk what more he wants. Philly is his best fit honestly. Nothing else is out there unless he goes to a championship contending team.
Joy is full of it. The Sixers were in the same position before Morey showed up and they haven’t progressed at all. Morey didn’t do his job.
I agree wit Joy, Harden is just a cry baby & always pouts when he doesn’t get his way…. Self accountability Harden always comes up short in the playoffs
As a nets fan I'm loving it 😂

😈😂. When the Nets got him I knew it was gonna be trouble. Glad he got shipped out to Philly ⛴️
Didnt Embid said that it's so easy to play w Harden 😂
James Harden burnt bridges in Houston, Brooklyn and now he's doing the same in Philly. He's going to find himself without a job. He's too self centered.
now that is one side. Im sure there are some good rebuttals to what I first posted. I aint sayin im all the way right, that point just hit me tho.
Shady said your great Coach draft well because I can’t give that money back 😂😂
Imagine always being late to work, your numbers continue to diminish from underperforming, and you get mad for not getting a raise. Look in the mirror 😂
Joy spittin!! Love to see it.
One thing the media always forgets, Daryl made the China comments, which got EVERY NBA contract reduced. This happened while harden was a max player. The mainstream media constantly sweeps the shady dealings of the business. McHale single handed ruined the timberwolves and was swiftly given another opportunity in Houston. The pistons owner, also owns the prison telephone service which charges $20 a minute.
Dudes get mad when they don't get that 10 cent raise at work they were promised 😂 imagine 100 mil

Agreed, but you have to PERFORM. Now if the company doesn’t value your worth and your performance then you seek elsewhere. That’s why Harden shouldn’t have opted in and become an UFA. But he knows there’s no market for him out there, so that’s why he opted in.
He had one dunk last year😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a lose lose for both. No team is going to want Harden without a discount and no agent/player is going to trust Morey going forward. It was a good run for them while it lasted
Ok so it wasn’t James Harden who wanted out of the Nets really badly? If anything Morey did him a favor.
McCoy has gotten a little better at this.
James Harden was never the guy , just a scorer, the Sixers needed pieces for years,
I just think Harden is playing this off the wrong way man. Dude should play the season, show the league what you got, whatever it is, and go all in. Show these teams that you bet on yourself so they can feel comfortable investing in the potential blessing.
Joy did get it right she ends relationships like the NFL.
