NBA Harden, Who is at Odds with the Club, Does not Even Attend Training... Trade is Difficult

James Harden, who was in a deep conflict with the National Basketball Association (NBA) Philadelphia 76ers, ended up failing to attend the team's official training without permission.

Sports media ESPN said on the 18th (local time), "Harden did not show up at Philadelphia's training ground," and "the club will give Harden a chance to explain himself before taking disciplinary action."

Harden, who was at odds with the club over his future, announced to the media that he would do his best to complete the pre-season schedule, but suddenly missed training, putting the team in an awkward position. 온라인카지노사이트

Coach Nick Nurse said, "I was a little surprised," but added, "We do what we do regardless of whether Harden is there or not," and center Joel Embiid, the team's mainstay, said, "There must have been other important things going on."

Harden requested a trade from Philadelphia last June, but there is still no news that the transfer process has progressed.

According to sports media outlet The Athletic, Harden believes that general manager Daryl Morey has 'betrayed' him.

Ahead of last season, he helped reinforce forwards such as PJ Tucker and Daniel House Jr. by signing contracts at relatively low salaries, but it is interpreted that he was disappointed by General Manager Morey's reluctance to renew long-term contracts ahead of the new season.

James Harden could have chosen an annual salary of up to $47 million (approximately KRW 63.8 billion) ahead of the 2022-2023 season, but extended his contract on the condition of receiving $33 million (approximately KRW 44.8 billion).

Last August, at a promotional event held in China by the global sports brand Adidas, Harden directly attacked the

team's leadership, saying, "Director Mori is a liar. I will never be a part of his organization."

General Manager Mori is discussing Harden's transfer with the Los Angeles (LA) Clippers, who urgently need guard reinforcement, but the two sides have clear differences of opinion, making it difficult to advance negotiations.

General Manager Morey wants guard Terrance Mann, born in 1996, and several first-round draft picks, but the Clippers want to keep Mann, The Athletic reported.

This media outlet commented that General Manager Morey criticized the Clippers for not giving up star guard Harden for not giving up the player, and threatened to ask for Paul George instead, which led to the strained relationship between the two sides.

George is the Clippers' signature forward.
