In his introductory press conference with the Philadelphia 76ers, James Harden had a unique retelling of the story of how he got traded away from the Rockets last year.
According to Harden - who clearly forced his way out of Houston in January 2021, only to do the same 13 months later in Brooklyn - both of those departures were mutual between him and the Rockets and Nets.
"For me, just the relationship that I had in Houston ... it was basically mutual, but everything was (put) on me and the same in the last situation," Harden said during Tuesday's press conference at the 76ers facility.
