Harden doesn’t see himself staying with 76ers

James Harden told reporters that he “wanted to end his career as a Sixers player” when he was traded to the team from the Brooklyn Nets, but management had no such plans.

Harden has been practicing with the Philadelphia 76ers since the second day of training camp after a tumultuous period in which he called president of basketball operations Daryl Morey “a liar” and vowed to “never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”

Asked if he thought his relationship with the team could be repaired, Harden said a firm “No.” He added: “It’s not just about this situation, but in life when you lose trust in someone… it’s like in a marriage when you lose trust in someone, it’s pretty simple.”
