Since then, Harden has been traded three times, including wearing out his welcome in two cities and forcing trades from the Houston Rockets to the Brooklyn Nets and from the Nets to the 76ers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at who James Harden has played with, it didn\u2019t work out with\u00a0Dwight Howard,\u00a0it didn\u2019t work out with\u00a0Chris Paul, it didn\u2019t work out with\u00a0Russell Westbrook,\u201d Perkins said. \u201cYou went to the\u00a0Brooklyn Nets, it didn\u2019t work out with KD [Kevin Durant] and Kyrie [Irving]. Now you\u2019re with Embiid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt some point, you have to be able to hold up your end of the bargain and not just depend on the other that you\u2019re pairing up with. Don\u2019t put pressure on Embiid. Be an asset to him, not a liability. Right now, that\u2019s what James Harden is since he has arrived with the Philadelphia 76ers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sixers were stuck in the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference \u2014 2.5 games back of No. 1 Miami \u2014 as of Sunday afternoon.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
