James Harden<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
James Harden has been fined $100,000 by the NBA for saying he would not play for the Philadelphia 76ers while President Daryl Morey was in charge.<\/p>\n
The guard called Morey a \u201cliar\u201d in an interview after reports the 76ers had ended talks about trading him.<\/p>\n
Harden, 33, was reportedly keen to join the LA Clippers before talks faltered.<\/p>\n
The NBA said the fine was for saying \u201che would not perform the services called for under his player contract unless traded to another team.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response, the National Basketball Players Association said, \u201cWe respectfully disagree with the league\u2019s decision to discipline James Harden for recent comments he made, which we believe do not violate the rule against public trade demands.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe intend to file a grievance and have the matter heard by our Arbitrator.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fine relates to comments made by Harden on August 14 and 17, when he in effect threatened to strike by refusing to play for the 76ers over their refusal to trade him.<\/p>\n
The NBA added, \u201cThe league\u2019s investigation, which included an interview of Harden, confirmed that these comments referenced Harden\u2019s belief that the 76ers would not accommodate his request to be traded.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harden made the controversial comments about Morey on August 14 during a promotional event in China.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cDaryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organisation that he\u2019s a part of. Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organisation that he\u2019s a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harden said in subsequent media interviews that Morey had gone back on a promise to trade him quickly earlier in the off-season.<\/p>\n
