This off-season, James Harden is making news for desperately trying to get out of his 2-year contract with the Phillies. The Philadelphia 76ers point guard picked up a whopping $68 million deal and is now trying to walk away from it. In fact, Harden is so determined that he would play for anyone but Philly.?

The Beard?s request for a trade-off is baffling many NBA stars and legends. In fact, a certain 7x NBA All-Star has no idea why Harden wants to play for the Los Angeles Clippers, especially when he?s got a clear shot at the championship ring with the 76ers.?

In an interview with Howard Beck of GQ Sports, Tracy McGrady took jabs at Harden on account of his trade-off request. The seven-time NBA All-Star did not completely understand or even agree with Harden?s decision. “That makes zero sense to me,” McGrady said to Beck.?

Further, T-Mac declared, ?I don’t know what he’s looking for. And maybe there’s some internal bulls*** that is going on that we don’t know about. Because it doesn’t make any sense to me.? McGrady is looking for a reason behind the trade-off, which sadly may not even exist. After all, this isn?t the first time Harden has forced his way out of an NBA franchise.

After the disintegration of the Brooklyn Big 3, Harden threw his hands up and wanted to be out of the Nets. The Nets, at that time, weren?t exactly happy with Harden?s exit. And how can we forget the Houston exit? Harden was the Rocket?s MVP and yet quit without grace, upsetting a lot of people.?

Harden?s choice to not play for Philly seems rather odd. It looks like Harden just wants to reunite with a former Oklahoma City Thunder baller, Russell Westbrook. If this is not it, then why would Harden quit the Eastern Conference, where he actually has a chance ?to play for a championship.?

Harden wishes to play with the Clippers. But why???

According to T-Mac, Harden has ?probably played with more Hall of Famers than anybody in the league, and he doesn’t have a ring to show for it.? Call it luck or a consequence of poor choices, the fact remains that Harden has never won a single championship in the NBA.?

It is really hard to tell why Harden wants to give up on the 76ers. Even the NBA legends are pondering over what Harden really wants. Does Harden think his best shot at the ring is with the Clippers? Or is he just frustrated with the 76ers? One can only speculate.?
