James Harden’s future with the 76ers remains uncertain as he pushes for a move away from the team.
According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, the situation is expected to worsen before it improves.
Shelburne stated on ESPN’s NBA Today that Harden intends to create discomfort for the franchise, with sources suggesting this is just the beginning.
“Somebody said to me yesterday, ‘This is only the beginning. This is just the beginning of what James Harden is going to do to make life very uncomfortable for the Philadelphia 76ers going into training camp,’” Shelburne said.

This holdout situation is anticipated to unfold differently from Ben Simmons’ situation, as Harden has publicly criticized the team’s president, Daryl Morey.
In August, a video of Harden at an Adidas Event in Beijing went viral, where he called Morey a liar and expressed his unwillingness to be part of an organization involving him.
The dispute has escalated, with Harden openly showcasing his frustrations, hinting that the disagreement could intensify further.
