- Reggie Miller disapproves of James Harden’s choice to spurn playing with MVP Joel Embiid
- Harden’s reluctance to join Embiid baffles Miller, drawing a comparison to LeBron and Wade
- Miller raises eyebrows, wondering why Harden would decline to partner with a reigning MVP
NBA icon Reggie Miller has openly criticized James Harden’s decision to reject the opportunity of playing alongside none other than the NBA’s Most Valuable Player (MVP), Joel Embiid. Harden’s stance has left many puzzled, including Miller himself, who didn’t hold back in expressing his disbelief:
“I cannot think of another MVP, a guy wanting to get out from playing with the MVP… Joel Embiid was the MVP last year.”
“Think about this! So I had to go back…like Jokic. That would be like Jamal Murray saying, ‘I don’t want to play with Jokic’. That would be like Kris Middleton saying, ‘You know what? I don’t want to play with Giannis.”
“LeBron James when he was in Miami. Do you think Dwyane Wade would have been like, ‘You know what? Back-to-back MVPs, I got to get out’. Have you ever heard of someone not wanting to play with an MVP?”
“Have you ever heard of that?”
Harden’s announcement of not wanting to play for the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid has sparked debates and discussions across the NBA community. This move has raised eyebrows, particularly due to Embiid’s MVP status and the potential for an incredible on-court partnership.
The Knicks Could Trade For Joel Embiid
The New York Knicks have emerged as the frontrunners to acquire reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid, should the star center decide to part ways with the Philadelphia 76ers. The ongoing feud between James Harden and 76ers President of basketball operations Daryl Morey has only added fuel to the trade speculations.
Embiid’s recent subtle actions, including removing “Processing…” and “Philadelphia, PA” from his Twitter bio, have fueled rumors about his uncertain future with the 76ers. His earlier remarks about vying for a championship, whether with the Sixers or elsewhere, have only added to the intrigue surrounding his potential departure.
While the rift between Harden and Morey has taken center stage, the Knicks have quietly positioned themselves as a possible destination for Embiid. The team’s decision to preserve valuable assets like Jericho Sims and Miles McBride reflects their long-term approach and commitment to building a competitive roster.
As the drama in Philadelphia continues to unfold, the NBA community watches closely to see if Embiid’s desire for a new chapter in his career will materialize. The Knicks’ readiness to welcome an MVP-caliber player like Embiid could reshape the landscape of the league and provide them with a cornerstone for their future endeavors.
