Daryl Morey went on file to point that the Philadelphia 76ers try to honor the commerce request of James Harden. The Sixers and Harden are in a stalemate after he exercised his choice for 23-24 at $35.6 million, which makes him ineligible for a long-term extension.
“However the actuality is, if we do take a look at a commerce, it’s going to be for certainly one of two issues,” Morey mentioned Tuesday on The Anthony Gargano Present on 97.5 The Fanatic. “It’s both going to be for a participant who continues to assist us be proper there like we have been final yr, up three-two on probably the greatest groups within the East within the Celtics.”
Whereas Morey is keen to commerce Harden, he does not seem keen to take action for a package deal that does not a minimum of make them nearly as good as they have been final season.
“If we don’t get an excellent participant or one thing we will flip into an excellent participant, then we’re simply not going to do it,” Morey mentioned. “And if James have been to show his thoughts round, we’d all be thrilled. However at this second he does choose to be traded, and we try to honor that.”
