Chicago Bulls fans react to latest major James Harden news

We all knew James Harden wanted out of Philadelphia. Still, his latest screed against the 76ers management had Chicago Bulls fans talking about a potential trade this offseason to the Windy City.

Harden has wanted to be traded from the 76ers since early this summer. The Los Angeles Clippers were his preferred destination. Harden’s name has also been linked to the Bulls.

Per Steve Gardner with USA Today, Harden’s deteriorating relationship with the 76ers front office, specifically president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, escalated this weekend. Harden called Morey a “liar”:

Speaking at an Adidas press event in China over the weekend, Harden blasted Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, who reportedly has shut down trade talks involving the 10-time All-Star in hopes of having him return to the team.

When asked about the situation, former league MVP didn’t mince words: “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of. Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”

Harden is putting the 76ers front office in a bind. The 76ers will likely have to trade Harden. And Harden’s antics aren’t making NBA teams want to overpay in a trade. The 33-year-old star wants to play for his third team since 2021.

The hilarious part about all of this is I'm not a LaVine fan, but I hate James Harden waaaay more and I would never want them to trade for him. But objectively, James Harden is a former MVP that's still producing & saying the Bulls wouldn't even look at it?! Crazy talk.
