American playmaker James Harden, who plays for the Philadelphia 76ers, said that he is ready to take less, just so that the team can strengthen as much as possible for the next season.
Philadelphia brought in P.J. Tucker and signed him to a three-year contract, as well as Danuel House and De’Anthony Melton.
“I spoke with the president Daryl Mori, who explained to me how we can strengthen ourselves and what is the market value of certain players. I told him to strengthen the squad, bring in whoever is needed, and give me what’s left. I want to win so much. I want to fight for the title. That’s the only thing that matters to me now. I’m willing to take less to put us in a position to make it happen,” Harden said.
“I think we have a much ‘deeper’ team now. We needed that. If you look at our team now, we are in a position to go much further. I like how we stand compared to the other top teams,” he added.
Then he reflected on his play in the team with Embiid.
“I often talk with Joel and we have joint meetings about how we will play and what we need to help the team win the title. When you have two top players in their positions in the same team, that’s a great foundation. We will develop together and try to take this team to the top. I believe we can do it together,” Harden concluded.
The American playmaker was an All-Star ten times, he was the MVP once, and the league’s top scorer three times.
