After they acquired John Wall after they fired Morey? Damn straight.
You missed a few steps, Buddy.

They traded their depth to the Clippers because Harden wanted to play with Paul.

They traded Paul to the Thunder for Westbrook because Harden didn't want to play with Paul.

All these deals were done at Harden's behest.

People have been killing LeBron all year for pushing for the Westbrook trade.

The one thing LeBron hasn't done is request a trade when it didn't work out.

That's the difference between him and Harden and why people don't respect the latter.

Yeah. This stuff is far worse than Durant going to the dubs

But man, players make terrible GMs

I see we are at the making shit up level of the the homer defense hierarchy.

Who said Kyrie is a hero? I think he's a nutjob. It won't break my heart if he doesn't end up on the Lakers.
I didn’t know where we were going in the “doesn’t think for himself” avenue you turned down. That was the only thing I can think of. I mean all it really takes is Harden to have a 3rd grade reading level so he could read any of the glut of articles out there about Kyrie taking his stance and not playing games for him to draw the conclusion that the Kyrie guy isn’t really about the team or winning.

I’m just trying to figure out the rules:
Bat shit crazy dude goes off reservation and Harden is left by himself during KD’s injury rolling the ball out with LaMarcus Aldridge Paddy Mills and Blake Griffin but that’s on Harden for saying fuck this noise, I want out of here. Nets drama is an on going punch line here but apparently not applicable in assessing Harden wanting to get out.

Already noted that Harden holds responsibility for CP3.

But Harden didn’t fire Morey.
Harden didn’t acquire John Wall.

Wasn’t it Harden that forced CP3 out? Pretty sure, he did it to himself and then quit on his team

top players Harden played with but NEVER his fault

Dwight Howard
Russ (Houston)
CP3
KD (Brooklyn)
Kyrie (Brooklyn)
Melo

Give me a break man

I didn’t know where we were going in the “doesn’t think for himself” avenue you turned down.

If he quit because Kyrie quit, that's not exactly thinking for himself. He supposedly went to the Nets to play with KD. After all, KD wanted him there.

KD didn't quit. But Kyrie did and you think that makes Harden quitting ok.

I guess you'd accept ''So and so did it too'' as a valid excuse for your kid doing something they knew was wrong.

Harden quit on a team he forced his way to play for. Imagine how differently he would be viewed if, instead of quitting, he had balled out when KD was hurt.

No one is saying that Harden shouldn't want out, he has an agent whose job is to work with the team to get him out. His job was to earn the millions he was being paid.

I kind of want him to find a reason for him to quit on the Sixers, but I'm a little concerned that you may seriously injure yourself with 180 degree turn you'll make on him if he does. lol

the tampering with morey is crucial to the process.

1. If my kid said to me she’s gonna bail on prom because her boyfriend didn’t want to go, I’d give a run at talking her into going anyway but I would absolutely get it. Harden reacted to Kyrie going nuts. And your KD argument fails because he was hurt during most of that time.
2. You know I have no problem being critical of Sixers who don’t play well. All of this isn’t about anyone’s 180 except Harden. I only knew Harden from afar. All you guys told me he was selfish and a shitty teammate. Actions so far don’t add up with what all you guys told me he was about.
