No one is really clear on what is next for James Harden, currently of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Will he remain with the Sixers despite all the bad blood between him and Daryl Morey?
Or will he find another team to call home?
Perhaps he will follow a move that other NBA players have made and start a career overseas, maybe in China.
Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson spoke with Stephon Marbury about that possibility.
Marbury was supportive of it, but doesn’t think it’s going to happen:
“It’s always good to see guys from the NBA try China and play. It would be good for basketball to see James play in China. It’s basketball, it’s an opportunity to play. But I don’t think he’s coming. I think he’s gonna get another big contract in the NBA though.”
James Harden playing in China caught the eye of @StarburyMarbury. I called Marbury and asked his thoughts. Here’s what he told @BallySports:

Like many people, Marbury predicts that Harden will eventually find a long-term deal within the league, either with the 76ers or another team.
Even with all the controversy and nasty headlines about his current status with the team, Harden is still a highly-decorated basketball star that several teams would be eager to have.
However, if he did decide that he had enough of the NBA and wanted to play in another country, the demand for him would also be astronomical.
The big question is if Harden will end up in Los Angeles with the Clippers as he had hoped.
It seems like the chances of that happening are currently slim.
He is apparently now open to moving to different teams as well so now everyone must wait and see which presents the best offer to the 76ers.
If none give the Sixers what they want then Harden could remain in Philadelphia for months at the very least.
