James Harden has no desire to play for the 76ers next season, despite the franchise having a new coach, reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid and a supporting cast that puts Philadelphia in the conversation to compete for an NBA title out of the Eastern Conference.
His pursuit to leave Philadelphia has left many NBA fans—along with NBA Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady—scratching their heads about his latest desire as an NBA player. In a Wednesday segment on Fox’s The Herd, McGrady told Colin Cowherd that there has to be a bigger rationale than player infrastructure as the reason for the 10-time All-Star wanting to move on from the 76ers’ organization.
“It’s got to be something deeper than any of us know about because to me it's the perfect fit,” McGrady said on the show. “There’s an MVP that you are playing with. They have a young talent in Tyrese Maxey who is going to be extremely good this year. I just think that the talent that you have around you is best for you is structured to win a championship or at least compete for one.”
