Oh no, collusion! Not collusion! Daryl Morey must stop pursuing James Harden immediately. The league has a record of throwing the book at any team who dare tampers with a player:

How will the Sixers ever recover from losing a 2nd round pick?!
Does Adam Silver forget he removed Sam Hinkie and is dealing with Daryl Morey now? Taking away a 2nd round pick from Sam Hinkie is like taking away Joel Embiid’s feet. Without it they are nothing. Sam Hinkie turned garbage into gold using 2nd round picks. He drafted Jerami Grant, Richaun Holmes, and flipped one for Tony Wroten, but it turns out we’re a long ways away from Arturas Gudaitis and JP Tokoto. Those 2nd round picks don’t mean jack shit to Daryl. We are star hunting.
Listen Sean Marks, if you don’t like that James Harden and Michael Rubin are friends you should’ve chosen to work for a cooler owner. It’s not Michael Rubin’s fault every celebrity wants to be at his 4th of July party. It’s not his fault he takes trips to St. Barts with James Harden’s friends. You chose Gorbachev. Now you got Joe Tsai. He’s big in China. Last time I checked the NBA isn’t played in China. Go run a CBA team. I’m sure Joe Tsai is best friends with the Meek Mill of China. There’s probably no tampering rules either. Don’t be mad at the 76ers because you did exactly the same thing you inherited. People don’t forget:
P.S. There’s not even one picture of James Harden and Michael Rubin together on Google.
