ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins believes that James Harden’s days in the NBA could be numbered after the 10-time All-Star publicly criticized 76ers president Daryl Morey.
On Monday, Harden called Morey a “liar” in reference to a report stating that Philadelphia was no longer shopping the disgruntled star to potential trade partners, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. After Harden’s latest actions, Perkins told the crew on ESPN’s NBA Today that the Philadelphia star’s career future could be in jeopardy.
“You went and criticized a guy, a friend that value you more than anybody in the league,” Perkins said on the show. “James Harden has everything to lose, and if he’s not careful, he could possibly be out of the league after next year. Because here’s the thing: You can’t trust him. He’s been disgruntled in the last four out of five years. …The NBA don’t need him. … They move on from old superstars. They have a bunch of young superstars coming in every single year that can replace him.”
