For so long, it was a perfect NBA marriage. But now, after a season of 'sacrifice,' the ongoing drama between James Harden and team president Daryl Morey has the 76ers on the brink.
Harden was informed of the team's decision before the report came out, sources said, and he was not happy.,"Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never play for an organization he is a part of again."James Harden and Daryl Morey have not captured the same level of success they had when both were in Houston. Harden later told NBA investigators that the lie he was referring to was his belief that Morey had gone back on his word after telling Harden he would trade him.
Maxey has done the same, even waiting on a contract extension this summer so the franchise can preserve its ability to operate under the salary cap and improve the team in the future. What's clear to all involved is that this has become a personal matter between Harden and Morey. An emotional one, borne out of frustration and a perceived wrongdoing by a man who had long been Harden's champion.
Harden might have cost himself even more money by picking up his player option for this season, which effectively took away his ability to sign a new long-term contract until he becomes a free agent next summer at age 35.
