Report: Meek Mill Is Personally Trying To Convince James Harden To Come To The Sixers

Getty Image While a number of reports indicate Harden wants Brooklyn, Meek Mill wants his friend to come to the City of Brotherly Love. …

Much of the smoke about a James Harden trade in recent days has revolved around him going to Brooklyn, where he’d join forces with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on the Nets. That hasn’t been the only potential destination that has popped up in the Harden discourse, as the Philadelphia 76ers have been kicked around as a potential destination, too.

It’s not hard to see how a deal to Philly might work. The team could offer one of Joel Embiid or Ben Simmons as a starting point, and the Sixers recently hired former Rockets executive Daryl Morey to take charge in their front office. According to new reporting, Philly might also have something in its back pocket in its pursuit.

According to Kelly Iko and David Aldridge of The Athletic, one of Harden’s friends is Meek Mill, who is working to recruit Harden to his home city.

Philadelphia’s interest in Harden has grown in recent weeks, sources said. Morey’s ascension to the top decision-maker spot on the basketball side as president of basketball operations is an obvious link, given the history Harden and he share, but there’s also the lure of the Eastern Conference. Rapper Meek Mill has a longstanding relationship with Harden and has been trying to convince him to come to Philadelphia, according to a source. Billionaire Michael Rubin, a close friend of Meek’s and co-owner of the 76ers, is also very fond of Harden.

There is no guarantee that having Meek, a well-documented Sixers fan who had tons of support from the organization while he was in prison for a parole violation, is able to get his pal to Philly. But hey, any little bit helps.

Kanye West Questions Kim Kardashian’s Control Over North’s Name

HonkMagazine

Kanye West is once again in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not just about his music or fashion. He recently took to Twitter to express his frustrations about something personal, why his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, holds the rights to their daughter North West’s name. He shared a legal document that outlined the trademarks associated with North’s name, asking his followers how they felt about the situation. This revelation comes amidst ongoing efforts for parents to co-parent their four children. While Kanye and Kim have tried to appear united for their kids, it’s evident there have still been unresolved tensions between them since their high-profile divorce.

At the heart of this issue isn’t just about the trademark rights but also about who has control over North’s future. Kim, who has built a successful business empire using her family name, took these legal steps to safeguard North’s name as a valuable asset. However, Kanye feels left out of this decision and worries about his father’s rights. Also, it’s worth noting that North has recently been making more public appearances, especially related to Kanye’s VULTURES project. This has led to speculation that Kim’s move to secure the trademarks could be a way of managing how North’s name is used in upcoming projects and businesses.

This situation raises important questions about parental rights and how celebrity children are raised in the public eye. Should Kanye have had a say before these trademarks were secured? Is Kim simply looking out for North’s future? Or is this just another episode in the ongoing power struggle between two of the world’s most famous stars? This is not the last time we’ll hear about Kanye and Kim’s complex relationship and their ongoing efforts to navigate co-parenting.
