PHILADELPHIA — No one should be surprised by Daryl Morey wanting a king’s ransom from potential trading partners for disgruntled point guard James Harden.
The 76ers president of basketball operations was that way with malcontent Ben Simmons, waiting out his demands. The Sixers eventually acquired Harden from the Brooklyn Nets for Simmons in a blockbuster deal.
Morey also had a steep asking price when other teams inquired about forward Tobias Harris prior to June’s NBA draft.
