James Harden hasn’t said much publicly about the situation that ultimately led to his being traded from the 76ers to the Clippers. Aside from an outburst in which he called Philadelphia president Daryl Morey a “liar” and stated he’d never play for an organization he’s part of again, very little in terms of specifics has come to light.
Until now.
Harden is claiming that Morey told him he would get a maximum-level contract one year after taking a $15 million pay cut to help the team, The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported Monday. When Harden didn’t get the max deal, that appeared to be the demise of his relationship with Morey.
