The situation around the Philadelphia 76ers doesn’t sound promising. The multi-billion franchise made several attempts to find a main piece alongside Joel ‘Trust the Process’ Embiid to reach the ultimate goal. A few famous stars that failed to win a ring alongside the African sensation are Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons. Now, it is none other than James Harden. Although Sixers reached the conference semi-finals with his power play, Harden publicly expressed he is not interested to stay there anymore. The ‘Beard’ took it to the next level today with “uncomfortable” claims which might define his tense situation with the Sixers. 

It has been just a few days since Harden requested a trade out of the Sixers. With several destination spots available, 2018 has his eyes only on one team!

James Harden adds spice with “uncomfortable” claims

Ever since the game 7 loss to the Boston Celtics, the drama around the Sixers has only risen. From Joel Embiid calling out his own teammates after the disappointment to Harden calling it quits, all eyes are on the Sixers. Now with a new Instagram story, Harden might have made a few things clear. 

Averaging 21 points and 10 assists last season, it is no doubt that the 10-time All-Star is still a valuable asset. Several teams have eyes on him. However, Harden wants to play only for the Los Angeles Clippers. The ‘Beard’ has played alongside Paul George and Russell Westbrook previously, which could be a reason for this decision. 

This news made a ruckus on the internet but now Harden is back with another cryptic update. The 33-year-old shared on his Instagram story, “Been comfortable for so long. It’s time to get uncomfortable.”

Although this does not reveal how Harden meant it, considering the latest situation around him, it speaks volumes!

Why does Harden want to depart all of a sudden?

There are several answers to this question. The shooting guard might have felt the Clippers will suit him better than the Sixers. Or he is unhappy with the franchise not making any key additions to the roster. Apart from these, there stands a main reason which could be the right answer. 

Harden sacrificed nearly $15 million last summer, although he was eligible for a max deal. Now this off-season, Harden was ready to sign a massive $210 million for four years. However, as Sixers did not find this deal promising, Harden decided to call it quits on them.
