Lowe: Behind the scenes of a tense and wacky NBA draft lottery

James Harden is currently on a trip to China. He made waves by calling Daryl Morey “a liar” earlier in the trip. In more positive light, Harden sold out of cases of his signature wine while on Chinese TV.

Now, Harden said he’d like to reply some of that love the Chinese people have shown him. And Harden said he’d like to do that by playing in China some day.

“Every time I come here, the love is just like … it’s crazy, you know what I mean?” Harden said. “So I feel like they deserve to actually see me come play here. … Love is always crazy here.”

Harden is currently seeking a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers. He’s reportedly threatened to make things “uncomfortable” if forced to report to Sixers training camp. Calling Philadelphia president of basketball operations Morey “a liar” was apparently just the tip of the iceberg.
