Boston Celtics v Philadelphia 76ers - Game Six

James Harden is an NBA star who always seems to have attention around him. Overall, this is because he is a huge name. He used to be the best scorer in the league. Although he doesn't possess that title anymore, he is certainly still a great playmaker. Now, however, he and the Philadelphia 76ers are out of the playoffs. Doc Rivers has since been fired, and rumors surrounding Harden are beginning to ramp up. Free agency is just a couple of months away, and a lot of people are curious about Harden's fate.

There is this sense that Harden is going to leave Philadelphia. Overall, his partnership with Joel Embiid hasn't gone according to plan. They have yet to make it out of the second round together. Ultimately, this is no different than when Ben Simmons and Embiid were together. For now, many believe Harden will want to play in Houston under Ime Udoka. Moreover, James Harden could teach the young stars over there a thing or two. Yesterday, it was even reported that Harden was interested in Phoenix.

James Harden Speaks

James Harden has always been aware of the various rumors that surround him. That said, it should not be a surprise that he took to Instagram yesterday with a simple yet effective message. "Experts really don't be experts," he said simply. Although this was not pointed at anyone in particular, it does seem like the timing would suggest it is about the reports from yesterday. Perhaps Harden is not interested in Phoenix at all. At the end of the day, that would mean another reunion with Kevin Durant. Considering their lack of postseason success together, it is hard to see the point in doing this for a third time.

It will be interesting to see how all of this shakes out in the not-so-distant future. Many are invested in free agency, and if your team has a shot at Harden, you'd want to follow that.
