Daily News | If James Harden is traded, how will Sixers guard’s tenure in Philly be remembered?
For the 76ers, re-signing James Harden in free agency was a necessary evil ... until it wasn’t.
Harden did lead the NBA in assists this season at 10.7 per game. He is the first Sixer to win the league assist title since Wilt Chamberlain in 1967-68. Harden and MVP Joel Embiid, who won his second straight scoring title, formed one of the league’s best duos. He finished with 11 points, nine assists and four turnovers in a 99-90 Game 6 conference semifinal loss to the Miami Heat on May 12, 2022. Harden was held scoreless in the second half.
Having Harden opt out and possible losing him in free agency would’ve been less than ideal for the Sixers. Allowing Harden to walk with no compensation would’ve only set them back. Are the Bucks going to re-sign their nine unrestricted free agents, namely standouts Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez? How will the Kristaps Porzingis experiment work in Boston? And how much will the Celtics miss Marcus Smart, who had been their heart and soul the past nine years?
