alotta news but TLDR

Harden responsible for getting rid of Kevin McHale, CP3, D-Ho, and Kevin McCallister

Harden would use a private jet to fly around, come late to practice

Harden forced Houston to trade for Westbrook, giving away its future

But in the end they didnt mesh, Westbrook was not having any of Harden's lack of discipline and work ethic

The way he moves off ball on the court pretty much sums him up. Dude seems to have a shit attitude. Seems very selfish.

Cancerous ball hog. Any wonder other teams don't want him.

I mean,

I don't doubt it that Superstars are capable of being spoiled primadonnas.
And I am the last person to defend James Harden.

But

Keep in mind that all these news could be very one-sided in terms of their source.
The GM/Owner that got rid of Mchale, traded for CP3 etc were not even with the organization I think at the time.

So yeah, it's very comfortable to give Harden all the blame right now but I just think we should take it with a grain of salt.
(The Westbrook Trade thing I do believe though. They're friends.)

[Proctor]

Not surprised by any of it.

Total loser

The way he doesn't move you mean. When Paul or Westbrook had the ball all he did was just stand around. A guy like Dwyane Wade was one of the best cutters in the league and would actually move around while playing with LeBron. Harden though? He didn't do anything but stand around twiddling his thumbs. Wherever he ends up it will be the same shit with whatever star he's playing with.

Exactly. He seems to care more about his points than anything else. Looks completely disinterested when anyone else has the ball. Gotta feel sorry for the other players in Houston who were reduced to just standing there watching Harden attempt his classic predictable step back or flop in the paint. Imagine the thoughts in their minds as Harden starts the between the legs shit at the 3 point line for the 25th time that game. :facepalm

It's kinda sad.

Him not doing off ball movements and defense was chalked up to energy conservation since he carried the team offensively. That it's intentional by the coach due to the nature of Houston's offense. Harden was doing off ball movement in OKC and Houston during part of Mchale's tenure.
