James Harden Takes Daryl Morey Beef to New Level

In this story:
While James Harden maintains his trade request from the Philadelphia 76ers to the LA Clippers, his beef with Daryl Morey has been taken to a new level. Publicly calling Morey a liar while in China, Harden recently had signs at his party that read, "Daryl Morey is a liar."

With media day and training camp on the horizon, it will be very interesting to see how Harden approaches everything. With Damian Lillard's trade request finally being fulfilled, Harden remains stuck in Philadelphia. This is clearly not where he wants to be, as the veteran guard feels Morey lied to him after Harden opted in, expecting a trade to the Clippers.
Perhaps the fallout from Lillard joining the Bucks and Jrue Holiday joining the Trail Blazers can create a more direct path for Harden finally being dealt, but as of right now, there seems to be no movement on a deal to the Clippers or anywhere else. The 76ers have a lot to figure out between now and the start of next season, and this all becomes more complicated if Harden decides to not show up - or show up and cause chaos.
Vowing to never play for an organization that Daryl Morey is part of, Harden seems to be standing firm on that statement. Taking his beef with Morey to a new level by calling him out with signs at a recent party, Harden isn't letting this go any time soon.
