Philadelphia 76ers star guard James Harden made it clear that he wanted to be traded from the team. When the team managed to fail his requirements, Harden took it upon himself to blast and shame the 76ers president.
He went on a rant, calling Daryl Morey a liar and also made it abundantly clear that he wanted no part of the organization which Morey was a member of. Now, Harden did receive some support from fellow NBA players.
But Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce seemingly sided with Morey on the whole fiasco. Pierce took to X (previously known as Twitter) to voice his feelings about the whole altercation that has been happening.
Pierce posted, ?James Harden has put Philly in a very uncomfortable position. What would you do if you were Daryl Morey ??

How will things end for James Harden?
Since his stint with the Houston Rockets, James Harden has not been the same player fans had gotten used to seeing. However, his paychecks year in and year out have been almost the same as in his MVP season.
And what Paul Pierce had to say may hold some value. With the way Harden has been behaving, other teams may not be interested in his services, given how his behavior may be perceived and might have a negative impact on other players and the locker room.
