James Harden has put the Philadelphia 76ers in quite a pickle. Harden opted for the $35.6 million player option, hoping to get traded from the 76ers. He expressed his desire to join the Los Angeles Clippers and play alongside the superstar duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. The Philadelphia 76ers President Daryl Morey, however, was not quick to act on Harden?s request, causing a drift between the two parties. Harden made a public announcement during his trip to China that he did not want to play in a team that Daryl Morey is a part of. This is not the first time The Beard has tried to wiggle his way out of a franchise. He did something similar in Houston and Brooklyn.
Seeing James Harden?s repetitive behavior, the Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett said Harden might have expired his ?Wiggles? and could soon face severe consequences. The NBA World agreed with the Big Ticket and slammed James Harden for his ?Infinite Wiggles?.

Boston Celtics legends Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce were part of the Certified Smoke Podcast, along with Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson, and Tony Allen. Matt Barnes raised a concern after analyzing James Harden?s trade drama in Philly, ?The NBA doesn?t need him.? The former player believes Harden could talk his way out of the NBA with the amount of drama he has created in all the teams he has been a part of. Harden first forced his way out of Houston and then bounced from Brooklyn when things started to go haywire. Now, he is trying to do the same thing in Philly.
Matt Barnes: ?I think James [Harden] has to be careful because the NBA doesn?t need him.?
Kevin Garnett: ?When you wiggle your way out, you only got one or two wiggles. You ain?t got infinite wiggles.? ?

Kevin Garnett agreed with Barnes? statement, ?When you wiggle your way out, you only got one or two wiggles. You ain?t got no infinite wiggles.? The Big Ticket also believes the 10-time All-star has used all his wiggle room in the NBA and could suffer major consequences if he continues his antics. The Beard is not the MVP-level player he once was, and the NBA could get fed up with his demands and leave him in the dust. After the former champion?s warning to the Beard, the NBA world followed suit.
Fans troll Harden after Kevin Garnett?s comments
The NBA World seemed to agree with KG as they took on social media to discuss the former MVP?s future and troll him for his trade drama.
A fan got real when he claimed no one owes Harden a job despite his Hall-of-Fame resume.
Harden will be in the Hall of Fame, and he will go down as one the games best offensive players, but right now, no one owes him a job, and his demand a trade act is getting old, so I agree the number of teams that want him are shrinking.

One fan even compared the former MVP to John Wall, considering how the Washington star has lost his stardom in recent years.
Two of the realist guys talking the truth.
