Holy hell I've never seen a player just this kind of direct language before at a manager. That's crazy. Since they're not planning on trading him now, would Harden simply just not play come the start of the season?

Seems like he doesn't intend to play. It's a Ben Simmons situation all over again

The Sixers are truly cursed

He has to play or at least show up physically, otherwise philly can reject any contract he signs after this year. Essential, James can either retire or play out this last year. He'll probably phone it in until they find a trade partner... Which is unlikely because no one wants to give money to a player that has asked out of the past two three places he's landed. He also demanded the places he was traded to. To think two mvps from the past 10 years are essentially vet minimum players now. Westbrook and harden
