James Harden’s Selfishness Revealed: Demands Leading Scorer Role in Negotiations

James Harden He showed up for the second training session of the Philadelphia 76ers after not appearing at Media Day and the first session and, in addition, the coach of the Pennsylvania team, Nick Nurse, praised his involvement in the practice. However, information continues to emerge that does not leave ‘Beard’ in a very good position.

As revealed by Stephen Smith on ESPN, Harden asked for a condition in his negotiations with the Rockets this summer that reveals the selfishness that has often been accused of him. And he’s not about money. This is what the journalist explained:

“The Houston Rockets spoke with James Harden thinking about bringing him back after bringing Making Udoka (the new coach). This is what they told me. In fact, he backed out of a max contract because he talked about how he wanted to be the leading scorer again. And Ime Udoka and them said something like, “No, we’re not trying to do this here. “We are building something different,” Smith said about the point guard. three times top scorer of the NBA with Houston (2018, 2019 and 2020) and with the desire to go to the Clippers.

Stephen Smith’s information supports what Adrian Wojnarowski revealed about Harden’s disagreement with the Sixers for assuming more of a playmaker role, adapting to Joel Embiid. The ‘Beard’ ended as the top assistant of the season with 10.6 basket passes, but not even that satisfied him. Without stopping thinking so much about himself, it’s hard to think about the ring he’s still missing.
