James Harden might be on his way to the Clippers after he opted into his player option earlier this month. He had a $35,640,000 player option with the Philadelphia 76ers after the last season, however, reports suggest that teams are not willing to pay a big sum. Earlier, during the regular season, there were rumors that Beard wanted to move back to Houston. Interestingly, fans on Twitter noticed that whenever James Harden wants to get traded he suddenly starts to look fat. He has done it so many times that “Fat Harden” has become a legend among the fans. In a recent video, the 76ers star was again snapped at a party with a fat belly.

Recently, Harden’s star teammate Joel Embiid spoke to Rachel Nichols from Showtime about the situation in Philly. He said that he was disappointed by the situation and hoped that James changes his mindset. “We going to be boys forever, want him to come back, obviously, so we can go out and accomplish what we want, which is to win a championship, so hopefully his mindset can be changed,” said Embiid. However, he added that irrespective of everything, they are going to remain best of friends forever.
Fans slam James Harden for pulling “Fat Harden” again since demanding a trade from Philly
James Harden has pulled off his fat look more times than he has won an NBA championship. In the last few years, the situation around him has been nothing short of a drama. For the last three teams he has signed, he has perhaps made it ugly for the team and himself. However, dissatisfied Harden has a unique way of showing his determination to force his way out.
In a recent picture, Beard was seen flaunting his fat body, which somehow isn’t the first time. Before he was forcing his way out of Houston, he was seen out of shape. Surprisingly, when he arrived in Brooklyn, he was ripped in the Nets uniform. When he was trying to get out of Brooklyn, there were rumors that no team wanted to sign him because he was out of shape.
Now that he is trying to get out of Philadelphia, ‘Fat Harden’ is back. How he pulls it off, nobody has an idea. However, fans slammed the two-time scoring champion for not keeping himself in shape. Let’s see if he magically gets in shape if he arrives in Los Angeles in a potential trade.
James Harden’s introductory press conference for the 76ers resurfaces after his trade request from the team
Last year, in his introductory press conference with the 76ers, Harden plainly said that he wanted to play for the 76ers. The 2018 league MVP had forced his trade out from the Nets to the 76ers. However, it seems like he is not home yet. Harden had said in his introductory press conference for the 76ers.
“This is where I want to be. This is where I want to win, and I think we have the pieces to accomplish that goal. From my first day with the 76ers organization, the team and the fans have helped me feel at home here in Philadelphia. I’m excited to build off of last season and I can’t wait to get out on the court with the guys and start this journey.”
Now he is forcing his way to the Los Angeles Clippers and playing with the already-built Clippers. However, the question remains, do the Clippers have enough salary cap to meet Harden’s price?
