Former NBA small forward Matt Barnes thinks that James Harden might talk himself out of the NBA.

(via SHOWTIME Basketball):

“I think James has to be careful because with all due respect, the NBA doesn’t need him no more. And I’m all for player empowerment, but he forced his way out of Houston, forced his way out of Brooklyn, now he’s trying to force his way out of Philly. He’s got so much talent and a lot of game left, could talk himself out of the league with his talent, which is crazy to think.”
