While outsiders might be antsy about getting a deal done, the belief inside the organization, a source recently told The Inquirer, is that such a move would be too reckless to justify.
Daryl Morey enters a back to school event hosted by the Philadelphia 76ers in partnership with Five Below at Rhodes Elementary School in Philadelphia on Friday, Sept. 15, 2023.FORT COLLINS, Colo. — After star point guards Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday were traded to the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics, respectively, as part of an end-of-the-offseason flurry, it became reasonable to wonder if unhappy 76er James Harden would follow close behind.
Still, some outsiders — especially in a passionate Philly market — remain vocally antsy to quickly cut ties with Harden, to make a trade now to end any potential drama, distraction or irritation. The belief inside the organization, a source recently told The Inquirer, is that such a move would be too reckless to justify.
Embiid agreed with the win-now sentiment during his media day session, saying “there should never be any lost seasons” for the rest of his career in Philly. Morey, who has built a reputation as an analytically driven and creative executive, has long shaped roster-building decisions on how they would impact his team’s immediate chances to win that season’s championship. That becomes even more critical with the NBA’s reigning Most Valuable Player in his prime.
This approach also accounts for the fact that star players around the league are constantly evaluating their team environments, and ask out when ready for change. This time two years ago, for instance, Harden had not yet turned disgruntled with the Brooklyn Nets. This timeyear, Kevin Durant had reconciled with the Nets following a summer trade request — but then was sent to the Phoenix Suns at the deadline.
