NBA Twitter reacts to James Harden’s tirade against Daryl Morey: ‘Morey was bringing a knife to a gun fight’
James Harden dropped a nuclear bomb during his China tour against Sixers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey:
James Harden on his China tour: “Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of. Let me say that again. Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.” 😳 pic.twitter.com/oYdzB77Oah

When the Sixers said they were shutting down James Harden trade talks, it looked like Daryl Morey was digging in to play hard ball.

No one is "right" in this whole Harden/Morey situation. Feels like both are more wrong than right. Maybe Harden was lied to, and he at least feels that he was. But dude basically quit on the Rockets and Nets, so his hands aren't exactly clean here either. What a mess.
