Over the last few years, the Philadelphia 76ers have been forced to deal with two disgruntled superstars.
First, it was Ben Simmons, and now it’s James Harden, who requested a trade away from the organization.
Harden expressed his desire to leave the 76ers earlier this summer and wants to be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Many believed it would create turmoil between Harden and other stars on the roster.
However, in a recent interview with Michael Scotto via ClutchPoints on Twitter, Tobias Harris revealed that nobody on the roster has any ill feelings toward Harden.
“Nah. I think nobody has any ill will or hard feelings on that situation. We’re just taking it day by day and seeing where it goes,” Harris said.
"Do you guys try to tell [James Harden] we’d still love to play with you and build off last season, or do you guys not get involved?"

Harden averaged 21.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 10.7 assists per game for the 76ers last season.
His numbers weren’t an issue since he shared the court with another superstar in Joel Embiid.
It’s the fact that Harden disappeared in the 2023 playoffs that concerned the fans.
He averaged 20.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in the postseason while shooting below 40% over 11 games.
Harden’s number dropped off across the box score and he still demanded a trade from the 76ers this summer.
According to a recent report by Shams Charania, the Clippers are ready to acquire James Harden.
In fact, the team is trying to trade for as many future draft picks as possible to ensure the 34-year-old becomes a member of the roster before the 2023-24 season starts.
If Harden gets traded to the Clippers, the matchup between the two sides will certainly be circled by many fans.
