James Harden's Sixers trade drama isn't the first time the 2018 NBA MVP demanded a trade away from his team. In fact, it's a recurring theme.

Harden's trade demands have been a recurring theme in his career, starting with his departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a contract dispute with the team's general manager.
Harden's time with the Houston Rockets saw him reach new heights, winning an MVP award and leading the team to multiple playoffs. However, changes in the front office and coaching staff led to his desire to leave the team.
Harden's move to the Brooklyn Nets was expected to form a championship-caliber team, but injuries and internal issues prevented the team from realizing its full potential. Harden ultimately requested a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, sparking a public feud with Daryl Morey and drawing a fine from the NBA.
