Philadelphia 76ers Tensions: James Harden Calls Technical Director Daryl Morey "Liar"

Published:2023-08-14 By Việt Long(Meta Sports) Comments
James Harden is on a promotional tour with Adidas in China, but that hasn't stopped the All-Star defender from speaking out about the Philadelphia 76ers' technical director.

In a video posted at about 5pm on August 14 (Vietnam time), James Harden was seen at an advertising event with adidas in China.

The video shows the Philadelphia 76ers player repeating over and over again that the team's technical director is a liar and claiming he doesn't want to play for the Sixers again.

Currently, this video is "viral" on Twitter with nearly 200,000 views in less than an hour.

“Daryl Morey is a liar and I would never play for the team he worked for. Let me repeat it again, Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never play for the team he works for," James Harden affirmed in front of fans in China.

This is an action that can carry many of Harden's intentions. Part of the reason comes from the fact that he is "at war" with the Philadelphia 76ers after his request to leave was not fulfilled.

Another point to note is that Mr. Daryl Morey used to be hated a lot in China. Perhaps this is the reason why James Harden gave this message while promoting the image in the country of billions of people.

At one point, James Harden was called the "pet chicken" of technical director Daryl Morey, the two worked together for many years, starting with Harden playing for the Houston Rockets in 2013.

When James moved to the Philadelphia 76ers about two years ago, he was reunited with Morey in a new shirt. However, the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated recently.

Harden's side said they felt betrayed when Philadelphia did not offer a contract extension as promised, leading to the "beard god" asking to leave at the end of June.

Currently, the Philadelphia 76ers and Mr. Daryl Morey personally have not commented or commented on James Harden's statement in China.

Recently, the Philly team stopped all negotiations around Harden, dismissed the defender's request to leave in 1989 and asked him to present before the new season.
