The long standing James Harden trade fiasco had a new update and fans spot a splitting similarity with his two-year-old Houston Rockets shenanigans. Ever since the disappointing playoff exit, Harden hinted at his intention to exit the Philadelphia 76ers. Notably, the star couldn’t land any trade, but the current update seemed to be the last resort for the 10x NBA All-Star. Following the update, fans erupted and stormed the comments with opinions.
Forcing trades isn’t new for Harden, as he had done it a few times in the past. After representing the Rockets for 9 seasons, the star walked out of the team with a trade drama. Similarly, after joining the dream team alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving with the Brooklyn Nets, he forced the exit after a year. In that lineup, The Beard again pulled off another drama at the Sixers camp.

After spending 9 seasons with the Rockets, James Harden‘s ringless journey continued in the league. Accordingly, the star tried to exit the team and find new opportunities to open an account in his trophy cabinet.
During the 2012-13 season, he managed to move to the Nets mid-season. However, fans have their own theories to point out his antics. Notably, the star looked out of shape during his last leg at the Rockets camp, but he went back to his best form after joining the Nets. Some fans say that he used ‘fat body suit’ to force an exit.
Following that, Harden pulled off another trick from his bag amid the trade drama. The star couldn’t a deal in the last few months as the Sixers camp has refused to make any move. Subsequently, the Sixers star refused to attend the Sixers training camp ahead of the new season, reported The Athletic.

Some section of fans expressed their disappointment with the players’ intention to shift teams often.
Really tired of this from players. They tried to accommodate you, didn’t find anything suitable yet, and now you pout and won’t participate? How losers act.
