Yeah but I’m guessing it had to do with money. Houston had the most cap space and Harden probably started getting the vibe that Sixers weren’t going to follow through without another bidder. What other logical reason would Harden have to try to drum up a market for himself.
He was going back to Houston until Udoka came into the fold as those rumors stopped right after it happened. He came running back to Houston on some “the money is still good right” and now feels slighted eventhough he was shady in the matter himself.

We’ll never know, but I disagree. I don’t think he forced trade to Sixers with the plan of eventually going back to Houston so quickly. The sudden Houston push seemed money motivated. Harden wouldn’t have left Brooklyn and turned down that massive extension coming off of injury in the first place if it wasn’t communicated to him that he was certain to get his money on the Sixers. Something happened that made him rightfully doubt that the Sixers were going to give him the money that lured him away from Brooklyn. Everything points to Morey lied, which other prominent players have accused him of doing in the past.

How did Harden complicate matters? His agent could've checked back in with Morey to confirm if handshake agreement was still in place and gotten a weird response. Houston seemed like a backup plan that fell through.
To be fair as soon as he left Houston, Stephen A said he wasn’t done with Houston and would. Come back in a couple of years after trying to contend for a ring. Stephen A said that the whole time he was gone from Houston…

Yeah that's believable. But he definitely didn't plan to try to go back that quickly.

Y’all need to stop playing and give up Bam. He’s not moving the needle that much. :sas2:
Not gonna happen cause dame and bam are close. It would probably piss off jimmy too. Plus we been looking for a consistent 4 since crowder left and Riley ain’t done shyt the last thing we need is to search for a center too :skip: How many times did jokic and the c’s body our back up bigs when he left the floor? We need bam defensively at LEAST

Woj aint said a peep in weeks which tells me the Blazers still haven’t gotten any more offers. Not trading him before training camp is just stupid at this point. He’s only getting older and if he gets injured before the trade deadline that Heat offer is gonna look like a king’s ransom compared to what they’ll get post-injury.
