Harden has told associates he doesn’t intend to speak to Morey ever again, according to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.
“According to league sources, Harden and his camp became convinced Morey intended to offer him only a two-year deal, with a team option on the second season, if he declined his $35.6 million player option and became a free agent at the end of June — essentially turning Harden into a year-to-year player,” Shelburne wrote. “The Sixers insisted to him that they would make him a strong offer as soon as they were allowed to, and to not mistake their caution over tampering rules for lack of interest.”
Harden called Morey a “liar” during his Adidas tour in China. The Beard has requested trades from the Houston Rockets, Nets and Sixers.
The Clippers acquired Harden, P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrusev from the Sixers in exchange for Marcus Morris, Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington and K.J. Martin. As part of the trade, the Clippers dealt a first-round pick, two second-round picks, a pick swap and cash considerations to the Sixers while sending a pick swap and cash considerations to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
