Sixers' James Harden: 'Daryl Morey's A Liar!' Rockets Reunion Reveal in Philly

“Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.'' - Rockets ex James Harden, unhappy with the Sixers.

Two of the NBA's most prominent names - both with their Houston Rockets history - are in the news as the James Harden situation in Philadelphia is turning even more sour.

“Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of," Harden said when a fan, during an adidas press event in China, asked about Sixers trade talks. "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."

The 76ers president of basketball operations is Morey, the former Rockets GM. Harden is their disgruntled star, sparked here by a question about Philly leaking info that they've ended trade talks and have decided to retain Harden.

But nobody makes noise quite like James Harden makes noise ... and he has again exhibited here.
