Charles Barkley says the Philadelphia 76ers should not trade for Houston Rockets superstar James Harden.

Barkley, a Hall of Famer and Sixers legend, is of the opinion Harden will not make Philadelphia a better team.

“He’s the best 1-on-1 player I’ve ever seen. He’s not as good as Michael (Jordan) and Kobe (Bryant), but as far as being an offensive force, he’s the best I’ve ever seen.

But are you going to change your whole offense, and play him like Mike D’Antoni played him? The Sixers won’t be better with James Harden,” Barkley said during his appearance on The Mike Missanelli show on 97.5 The Fanatic, via Sixers Wire.

At the moment, the Sixers are willing to include Ben Simmons in a trade offer for Harden, yet it is not so likely they will agree to a deal with the Rockets.
