The Philadelphia 76ers have a big problem on their hands right now, as James Harden has officially arrived to training camp.
According to Keith Pompey (Via NBACentral), the former MVP has landed in Colorado to join his team, and while that would usually be good news, that’s not the case this time.

Harden is reportedly looking forward to creating mayhem and chaos within the organization, making them so uncomfortable that they’ll have no choice but to trade him.
His trade value could be at an all-time low right now, and this is one of the many reasons why.
Harden failed to find any sort of interest in the free agent market, mostly because of this kind of thing.
He’s forced his way out of two teams and is looking to do it again, and his next team would be his fourth in five seasons.
He’s not getting any younger, and while there’s absolutely no doubt about his skills and impact as an offensive player, it’s hard to think any GM can trust him after what he’s said about Daryl Morey and all the bridges he’s burned throughout the years.
Harden needs to be quite careful about how he deals with the rest of his career.
The league is getting younger and has no place for aging troublemakers, as owners and executives simply don’t want to put up with them.
If they got rid of a legend like Allen Iverson, they can get rid of him in the blink of an eye as well.
