James Harden and Daryl Morey’s relationship is severed and “essentially fractured,” according to @ShamsCharania.

Harden has been “unnerved” about how the 76ers have handled his potential free agency and still wants to be traded to the Clippers.

    If Morey promised Harden a handshake deal to which he reneged, I don’t blame Harden for his stance and still wanting to be traded.

      it would likely have been for a near-max though, which doesn’t make sense from morey’s perspective.

      harden can want what he wants, but he’s just not the asset he once was. sooner or later he’s going to have to realise that.

        You’re completely right from an asset management perspective. I’m just commenting on the human element. If Morey promised and reneged, I can understand why he’s pissed and wants to be traded.
