James Harden Could Be Sidelined If He Doesn't Play Hard
1 year agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard James Harden is still in the midst of trade talks as his situation hasn't improved and general manager Daryl Morey hasn't found a deal that he likes yet. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the 76ers are prepared to sideline Harden if he doesn't play up to their standards and play hard enough. So far, the reports out of training camp have been positive in terms of his effort level and professionalism. In a conversation with the media on Friday, however, he said how the relationship with Daryl Morey is still beyond repair and originally he wanted to retire as a Sixer. He followed that up with, "The front office didn't have that in their plans. It's literally out of my control." For now, Harden's fantasy value seems higher once he's traded and this whole situation is cleared up. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution when drafting him.
