James Harden has been a constant in the news cycle ever since he requested to be traded from the 76ers. Most recently, he ripped his team’s president, calling Daryl Morey a “liar” and saying he will “never be part of an organization that he’s a part of.” Of course, his comments have ignited quite the debate online, as it would be the fourth trade of his career if it were to happen.
His former coach with the Rockets, Kevin McHale, shared some of his own experiences with Harden and says that the star shooting guard is accustomed to having plans for situations like this. He alleged that Harden concocted a plan to get McHale fired after the former coach infamously benched Harden in the fourth quarter of Game 6 against the Clippers during the 2015 Western Conference semifinals.
“The next year he came to camp, he was fat and didn’t feel like playing, and I got fired [11] games into the season,” McHale told Heavy Sports. “He had a plan.”
