Kyrie Irving suddenly defended James Harden after his attack on the Philadelphia 76ers technical director
On the show last night in Vietnam time (August 14), James Harden suddenly declared Mr. Daryl Morey - Technical Director (Technical Director) of the Philadelphia 76ers - a liar.
The All-Star defender thinks he will never be on the same team as Morey, considering he is determined not to play any more games for the Sixers even though he still has a year left on his contract.
This action of James Harden officially started the battle between him and the Philadelphia 76ers leadership, led by technical director Daryl Morey.
Witnessing the incident, many reputable news sites have updated the above information and called Harden a "disgruntled star", including ESPN along with prestigious journalist Adrian Wojnarowski.
And then an unexpected development occurred when Kyrie Irving spoke up, questioning the concept of "discontent" that journalist Woj used for his former teammate who played together at the Brooklyn Nets.
“Is he disgruntled Adrian?? Or is he just holding Daryl Morey accountable for the dishonesty and lack of transparency during contract renewal negotiations this summer?” Kyrie Irving posted on Twitter.
Returning to the story yesterday afternoon when a video of James Harden calling Mr. Daryl Morey a "liar" appeared on social networks, many people were surprised.
A day earlier, the Philadelphia 76ers had stopped all negotiations and negotiations around James Harden, wanting the All-Star defender to play his final year for the Sixers as the contract signed.
However, this was not in James' thoughts and intentions. He remained determined to leave and reaffirmed that he would never play for the 76ers again.
Now James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers will enter a duel where no one can really come out victorious.
The Sixers are still a strong force in the East and with championship goals in mind, these off-field problems will create an unnecessary distraction for team members.
For Harden, this is also a distraction for a superstar who is in decline. Ignoring the MVP title he had in 2018, the "bearded god" has now stopped at the Playoffs for many consecutive seasons because of his fluctuating performance.
The latest update on this incident, journalist Marc Stein said the Philadelphia 76ers were not affected by James Harden's statement in China.
They still maintain the decision to suspend transfer negotiations and ask Harden to present to the team before the new season.
