Recent James Harden-76ers Development Is Positive for the Celtics
In addition to serving as Boston’s yearly target in the Eastern Conference, the 76ers are unintentionally helping the Celtics owing to displeased Philadelphia player James Harden.
Less than two weeks remain until Opening Night, and the 76ers need to address some internal disagreement. It is likely that Harden will be traded away. The All-Star’s confidence in Philadelphia’s leadership has decreased, causing Harden and 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey’s relationship to become strained.
Nothing appears to have changed, and the clock is still running.
According to ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, Harden stated that he has a ten-year friendship with the front staff. There was ongoing dialogue, you

Boston benefits whenever Philadelphia suffers, but the Harden developments are especially fortunate for the Celtics.
There is more to it than just Harden’s anticipated exit from the 76ers removing a stalwart ex-superstar from a Boston rival team. One more layer that, in the long run, might work in the Celtics’ favor and possibly put an end to Philadelphia’s “Trust the Process” era.

“All I want is to take home a championship. During an Uninterrupted Sports Film Festival in July, 2023 NBA MVP Joel Embiid reportedly told Maverick Carter, according to ESPN, “Whatever it takes.” “I have no idea where it will be; whether it’s in Philadelphia or somewhere else, all I want is the opportunity to make that happen.
The benefit of seeing fewer Embiids needs no justification.
If the 76ers are unable to assemble a championship-caliber squad around Embiid, Philadelphia may need to plan for the worst-case scenario: seeing Embiid take his skills somewhere in quest of what the 76ers have been unable to offer.
