Philadelphia’s James Harden, the guard known for his Hall-of-Fame credentials, beard, step-back jumper and exits-gone-awry with Houston and Brooklyn, had just gone against expectations and exercised his player option for the final year of his contract, but with the desire to be traded.

Last June it meant celebrating a moment of hard-earned stability, the result of going from a second-round draft pick to a second contract, only to have it be just that - a fleeting moment.
