With the upcoming NBA season advancing, the Philadelphia 76ers have gotten themselves into a series of controversies. No wonder the dressing room environment is evidently not so good, because of all that’s happening around.

Fans are reportedly disappointed with the James Harden saga. The Sixers are starting their NBA campaign against the Milwaukee Bucks on 27th October after a couple more preseason matches. The team cannot afford any additional distress during the extremely competitive NBA. They aim at improving their roster from last season, aiming to do well in the long run.

Amidst all these, a former NBA star criticized the Sixers for their clueless decisions over the years.

The James Harden Issue

Former NBA Champion Richard Jefferson and his Cavaliers teammate Channing Frye are an integral part of the show Road Trippin’. Joined by their co-host Allie Clifton, they discuss if Joel Embiid should leave the Philadelphia 76ers. Netizens often praise Jefferson, chiefly for the humorous angles that he brings in.

James Harden and Daryl Morey’s catfight is a topic of conversation among NBA fanatics. Harden accused Morey of being a liar and denied being a part of the team associated with Morey. “Then you get James Harden, obviously the insider trading that you guys did to get James Harden has now blown up on your face,”?says Jefferson.

In this situation, the Sixers team management is to be blamed could not manage things properly, as hinted by RJ. Reports also suggest that an unhappy Harden can stay back into the team, instead of the previous possible Clippers move.

“Let’s talk about Philly for a second. With all due respect to Tobias, you pick Tobias over Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler has been into two NBA finals since you made that stupid move,” said Jeff. He further added, “Secondly, you have the Ben Simmons situation that wasn’t handled properly or handled the way it should have been.”

Things might have taken a different turn if they had Butler in the squad. Butler, on the other hand, is running riots with the Miami Heat. The Sixers could not manage a semifinal win against the Boston Celtics last season. Jeff explains how that turned into a debacle where the team is just wasting Joel Embiid’s time.
