By HoopsHype | August 13, 2023

What’s the buzz on Twitter? Mark Medina @MarkG_MedinaWhat should we make of the Sixers deciding to keep James Harden entering training camp? Breaking that down & more w/ @martinweiss & @BigVanillaFunny on @FoxSportsRadio. Tune in at 4:30 pm PT! bit.ly/3DFSCV7 – 7:07 PM Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaI know what Harden is capable of but think he’s smart enough to realize he isn’t in the same position to pull the stunts he did in Houston. Contract year. Is an all star but no longer a superstar. Is heading into age 34. Play the year out professionally and let the chips fall – 6:23 PM Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaSo Daryl Morey basically said if you want James Harden, you actually have to have a James Harden level trade package? – 6:08 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSJames Harden has earned an estimated $301 million. Eighth-highest paid player in NBA history.If he wants another bag? That’s his prerogative. Personally I think prioritizing it if you’re THAT unhappy in Philly is strange. He could’ve been a Clipper if that was his priority. – 5:55 PM Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespnESPN Sources: The 76ers have ended trade talks on guard James Harden and plan to bring him back to training camp for start of the season. The Sixers had periodic offseason conversations with the Clippers — Harden’s desired destination — but no traction on a deal materialized. pic.twitter.com/sJwXMsBYKW – 5:40 PM More on this storyline
