James Harden interested in playing in China for a season one day
Since arriving in China, Harden also expressed to fans a desire to play a season there. “Every time I come here, the love is just like … it’s crazy, you know what I mean?” he said. “So I feel like they deserve to actually see me come play here. … Love is always crazy here.” But playing in China might not be as easy as Chinese fans would like if Harden isn’t traded to another NBA team soon and remains adamant about not playing for the Sixers. According to the collective bargaining agreement, any player who “withholds playing services for more than 30 days after the start of the last season covered by his contract” could be deemed to have violated his contract and forbidden from entering free agency and signing with another professional team until the team he last played for “expressly agrees otherwise.”

The Harden saga is pretty simple. Harden thought was going to cash in this summer because he’d have the Rockets and Sixers bidding against each other, but that dried up after the Rockets backed out and Morey made it clear he was going to bid against himself – 6:09 PM

Don’t know if Harden thought he was wink-wink promised a 76ers max deal last summer, but let’s say it’s true… then who leaked all the stuff on Xmas Day to ESPN that Harden was “STRONGLY CONSIDERING” a 2023 return to Houston? Why the 2 orders Col. Jessup?

“As for Morey, the Harden stuff is hard to crush him for. Don’t get it twisted, this is a disaster. But the bigger disaster would’ve been signing Harden to a long-term, near-max contract.”

975TheFanatic: “I keep hearing that he is going to keep going. This wasn’t the first and only time that he will speak on it.” – @Ramona Shelburne on James Harden’s comments toward Daryl Morey -via Twitter / August 16, 2023
James Harden was shocked after his Chinese fans bought 10,000 bottles of his personal brand of wine in just 10 seconds, as fellow NBA superstar Andre Iguadola praised him for a “great move” criticising Daryl Morey during a promotional tour of the country. The 33-year-old American Harden recently joined a live stream on social media with local influencer Xiao Yang, who wanted to show the Philadelphia 76ers guard how quickly they could sell out his new product. Harden launched his own “J-Harden Wines” brand in 2022, to “bring excitement to the industry and turn some heads” with some eye-catching colours and a picture of himself on the prosecco, sauvignon and red wine bottles. -via SCMP / August 16, 2023
