Harden Fined $100K By NBA For Public Comments Against 76ers After Trade Demands Not Met

James Harden called 76ers president Daryl Morey a "liar" and stated he would not play for the team after they did not trade him.
Harden opted into his contract but wanted to be traded to the Clippers; the 76ers did not find a suitable deal.
The NBA investigated Harden's comments and fined him for indicating he would not fulfill his contract unless traded.
Harden averaged an impressive 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists last season but the 76ers lost in playoffs.
The players association plans to file a grievance disputing the fine over Harden's public comments about the 76ers.
