James Harden thinks relationship with 76ers is beyond repair days after calling Daryl Morey a liar

James Harden is doing his best to get the Philadelphia 76ers to understand that he no longer wants to be part of the organization. 

In an interview with KHOU 11 in Houston, Harden was asked whether it was too late to repair the relationship. 

"I think so," Harden said Thursday night.

It’s the latest comment by Harden signaling that he wants out of Philadelphia after the Sixers reportedly ended trade talks for the 10-time All-Star

Two days after the news came out, Harden took a shot at Sixers president Daryl Morey

"Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of," Harden said Monday while in China. "Let me say that again – Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of."

Following another disappointing playoff exit, Harden picked up his $35.6 million player option with the club, and the Sixers began exploring trade scenarios, according to multiple reports. 

The Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks were rumored to be potential destinations, but a trade never emerged. 

Now, the Sixers are faced with a potential situation similar to the one they went through two years ago with point guard Ben Simmons. 

Simmons demanded a trade before the 2021-22 season and was eventually traded to the Brooklyn Nets for Harden.

Harden has played for three teams over the last three seasons. The NBA’s training camp for the 2023-24 season begins on October 3rd.

Alabama blocked from issuing marijuana permits following accusations that a commission deliberated illegally

A judge said Thursday he will temporarily block Alabama from issuing licenses to grow and distribute medical marijuana as he reviews an allegation that the state commission illegally deliberated in secret before selecting winners.

Montgomery Circuit Judge James Anderson said he will issue a temporary restraining order to block the issuance of the licenses for 10 days while he hears the complaint. He scheduled a hearing for later this month.

The development is the latest legal skirmish in the battle over who will get the potentially lucrative licenses to grow and distribute cannabis for the state’s developing medical marijuana program.

JUDGE ASKED TO BLOCK ALABAMA FROM ISSUING MEDICAL MARIJUANA LICENSES

The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission last week nominated and approved companies for the licenses. The public vote came after commissioners met behind closed doors for several hours.

Alabama Always, a company that was not among the winners, said the commission violated the Open Meetings Act, which requires deliberations to be done in public.

Attorneys for the commission argued commissioners acted properly. They said commissioners met in private to receive information about the name and character of license applicants — an allowed reason under the Open Meetings Act — but did not deliberate behind closed doors.

It is the second time the licenses have been delayed because of a dispute over the process used to select winners.

William Webster, attorney for the commission, in a moment of frustration, suggested that board members won't retreat behind closed doors if they have to redo the vote.

"We will put forth everyone's dirty laundry and everyone will hear about it," Webster told the judge.

John McMillan, director of the commission, said they had hoped to issue the licenses to selected winners later this month, but that will be postponed.

Anderson cautioned during Thursday's hearing that he did not want the court case to drag out for a long time.

"My concern is to move this along," Anderson said.
