New 76er Pat Beverley: “[W]e do know there was something in place that didn’t go down and one man feels some type of way which he’s entitled to feel that way. So I’m not here for the bad James Harden press at all … because if I was promised some shit, I expect some shit in return”

>Beverley: “We weren’t in the room so we technically don’t know what was said and everything but — James Harden, he’s a very intelligent man. Like, let’s not forget that…. he’s a very intelligent business man he’s a very intelligent player. So, obviously him acting out like this, and him voicing his feelings —
>Rone: Strategic.
>Beverley: Yeah, I don’t think it’s coming from a bad place. I think he understands exactly what he’s doing. And like I said it’s a tough one ’cause I know both guys…. I understand both guys…. it’s just so many pieces that we’re not educated about. But we do know there was something in place that didn’t go down and one man feels some type of way which he’s entitled to feel that way. So I’m not here for the bad James Harden press at all. I’m not here for any of that because if I was promised some shit, I expect some shit in return also…. I hope I’m able to suit up and play with James Harden but from the way things are looking, [it’s] unfortunate.”
Later goes on to weigh the owners side too:
>Rone: “[James] has the anger of someone who was promised a bunch of money and now feels like they will not get that money. There is no other reason for you to speak in such absolute terms….
>Beverley: …. I came to Philly hoping he would be here. It’s just an unfortunate situation. I’m all player though, like you know, if I agree on a handshake and I was supposed to get a bag, hell yeah I would be waiting on my bag. And if I don’t get my bag you f—n’ right I’mma feel some type of way….. but now if I’m a business man, and I own a team and I can get a guy to agree to some type of deal with a handshake, I don’t know, obviously we’re guessing right, we don’t know exactly what the conversations but if we were to guess and if I was an owner and management and I can — I got a certain guy for this number off a handshake and it don’t work out [then] ‘it ain’t personal it’s business’ type of vibe. But that’s why you don’t mix basketball and friendship. That’s what kind of takes the heart and soul out of it a little bit. Like I said, I understand both sides as a player….”
uhhhh Pat. idk if you should be saying all this rn lol
All the players are obviously gonna take Harden’s side. Hopefully it doesn’t affect their ability to attract free agents down the line if they stiff Harden
He’s an inside man for the Clippers to help them get Harden for next to nothing. You are not slick Mr. Beverley.
Is this Harden’s nuke option?
– Harden admits to taking a paycut for Morey under legal immunity, preventing his own contract from being voided
– Morey gets fired and banned for 2 years.
– Sixers lose a 1st round pick.
– Harden fears being attacked by Philly fans, shaves his beard and cites mental health issues to chill for a year
– signs with the clippers next year
Boo hoo. Harden could have opted out and signed a deal anywhere he wants. He made a poor business decision and is now dealing with the consequences.
why is the W in brackets?
Can we just post a link with all the nonsense Pat Bev has said in the pass so everyone is reminded not to take anything he says seriously.
I don’t think anyone ever told Harden he was getting a max deal. Because he was never going to get a max deal.
Cool, you can leave too.
1) stfu 2) even harden is backing away from claiming there was a handshake for a deal and saying the comments were about trades 3) stfu
First ballot hall of fame instigator. That’s my GOAT.
I hate it when Bev does something I like. I spent a decade despising the man, but then he showed that camera to the ref and now this.
uhhhh Pat.
Can someone explain why the W is in brackets for this quote? I sort of understand why entire words are in brackets in quotes but not just one letter
He’s so intelligent he doesn’t get a $100 million contract on paper.
