It’s been over two weeks since 10-time All-Star James Harden opted into his $35.6 million player option for next season, with the intent of finding a trade to pave his way off the 76ers.

That’s because the relationship between Harden and team president Daryl Morey has been “fractured,” according to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, who expects Harden to be moved eventually.
