Harden’s stance has not changed. He still wants to leave Philadelphia. He’s still upset with how Morey handled his situation heading into possible free agency.

Las Vegas notebook: What I'm hearing on Lillard, Harden, the Warriors and more

You know Harden's lost when he's turning his back on Daryl.
Why did he pick up his player option then? He could have gone to Houston for a max deal and no one could have stopped him.
- I wonder if Houston actually was not willing to offer Harden a max contract. Not sure if it was an actual leak or just a rumor, but I'm pretty sure I heard something about Udoka discouraging the front office from giving Harden a deal. Harden opting in suggests the offers as a free agent we're not good.
Can anyone post the relevant bit? I got halfway into the article before the paywall came up. Does it go into any depth about what Harden wants or how Morey mishandled things? Or is this just a tweet masquerading as an article.
- Harden wants to go to clippers apparently and he had a quid pro quo with Morey last year to restructure his contract to be more team friendly in order to compete and he expected to get a lucrative contract this year, which I guess Morey isn’t doing.
  
  Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. I forgot he took a team-friendly deal last year.
Well well.
