Amare Stoudemire: If I’m the owner of the Sixers, I cannot commit to giving Harden a max deal

Nets coach Amar’e Stoudemire has a message for James Harden.
Harden has been traded to the 76ers after starting the season with the Nets.

Per ahnfiredigital.com, “I can’t commit to that,” he said of offering Harden a max deal. “If I’m the owner of the Sixers, I cannot commit to giving him a max deal. I just don’t see the dedication that I would need to see from my top 75 player. You have to be able to have a certain level of determination and focus on being the best player you can possibly be and also be there for your teammates when they need you the most. … If he’s not capable of doing that as a max player, I’m not going to be willing to now give you a max contract if you’re not showing me that you can handle the situation.”
