As the Sixers push for a championship, James Harden will continue to dismantle the labels placed upon him. By Mike Mulhern.

Then somehow Harden took as much heat for wanting to get away from Kyrie Irving and his part-time status as Irving did for choosing to only be available for half the games. So, watch the speedometer climb, puff your chest out and get ready to celebrate. The haters will try to throw cold water on the situation by calling Harden a ticking time bomb, a malcontent who forced his way out of his last two stops. Forget trying to figure out how Harden will fit into the offense. Harden will continue to dismantle the labels placed upon him as the season continues. Surely, you’ve seen some naysayers trying to downplay the Sixers' dominance in the infantile stages of the James Harden era.

Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers keeps in touch with Brooklyn Nets big man Andre Drummond after the trade.

“He’s playing well, man, and I’m happy for him. He did, however, have a wild pass that went out of bounds in a game for Brooklyn, and Rivers let him know about it. He was a roommate of a kid that I adopted in military school, so I’ve known him and his mom literally for that long.”

He stayed with it and he knocked down three big shots late in Sunday’s win over the New York Knicks to finish with 12 points in the game. On top of that, the Sixers were winning and that is the most important part.

As the Sixers look to put the final pieces of their playoff roster together, they are still looking to add a big man behind Joel Embiid.

The 33-year old averaged 14.1 boards from 2013-14 - 2018-19. One name they are expected to pursue is veteran center DeAndre Jordan, who is expected to be waived by the Los Angles Lakers, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. As the Sixers look to put the final pieces of their playoff roster together, they are still looking to add a big man behind Joel Embiid.

The Sixers are 24th in the waiver claim order, per ESPN's Bobby Marks. Philadelphia currently has a $13.19M tax bill. Below are the tax ramifications of ...

But, after playing with Harden on last year’s Nets, he reportedly might end up sharing the floor with the 10-time All-Star again. Obviously they start posting him up and he doesn’t have the size to guard some of those guys, so that’s why we’re out on the market trying to find one more big, for nights like that.” As is the case with Andre Drummond, the Sixers’ backup big man before the Harden deal, Jordan’s foul shooting has long been a notable weakness.

The Philadelphia 76ers have a new star duo — future Hall of Famer James Harden and MVP candidate Joel Embiid — that are off to a great start.

The Sixers are off to an impressive start of the Harden era, but Smith has a point. The Philadelphia 76ers have a new star duo — future Hall of Famer James Harden and MVP candidate Joel Embiid — that are off to a great start.
