    Ok like an hour ago I was starting to believe he wanted out, now I'm thinking it's all BS. The people who went up and said he wants out also said he didn't demand a trade.

    I don't think anyone knows. My new theory is that we are trading Paul and Tilman needs to make sure it's shrouded in confusion so that future FA's don't wonder why we traded him to a sh*thole somewhere. But my theory on this is changing every day lol

    Bleacher Report is closer to "bloggers" than it is to "journalism". When it comes to actual sports opinions, those guys are reliable for being the worst.

    it's the same ****ing story over and over again. Who in the world is hurt so bad they are doing this? It HAS to be related to Klutch. No one else has this much pull all over.

    Damn for real if Irving signs in Brooklyn, Russell is almost a lock to join the Wolves. That might actually make the Suns consider acquiring Paul. Can they be that stupid?

    One thing I noticed about all these reports is that the person with knowledge is venting their personal grudges against Chris Paul and Harden. It sounds more and more like an ex coach talking

    It is the same story over and over again... but each time with another nugget. This time, the new nugget is:

    Two weeks ago, Paul's agent, Leon Rose, met with Rockets GM Daryl Morey and requested a trade, a person with knowledge of the situation told Bleacher Report.

    We're still getting "anonymous sources"... but that's what we would get. I can't say its definitively not true because a source wants to be anonymous. And we're still getting direct from CP3 and DM denials... but that's what we would get.

    The middle ground seems to be:
    * Absolutely there's been friction
    * Absolutely DM shopped (PAST TENSE) CP3, either for due diligence or otherwise
    * Absolutely some member of CP3s crew requested a trade... but HE SPECIFICALLY DIDN'T

    An anonymous source could be a sales guy with the Dallas Mavericks who knows someone who writes for an ESPN show.

    What’s up with the fake details, is this hollywood? Who in their right mind would believe Harden gave Morey a note? Seriously...I do agree there’s more of a me culture than teams like the Raptors and the Warriors.

    whats' beef?
    Beef is knowing Morey will trade you in the middle of your sleep for a late first and a future pick. Beef is when you fire the assistants hoping it forces D'antoni to quit. Beef is when Morey sees you.

    CP3 himself shut down this rumor on Twitter that he asked to be traded. On multiple occasions, Morey said CP3 has not asked to be traded, so why is this still a discussion in the media? Am I missing something or am I more intelligent than these media goons?

    I wonder what the national media would be like if the Warriors and Rockets just traded cities, and Harden and CP3 played in Oakland instead of Houston.

    "According to sources, Klay's ACL not really torn"
    "According to sources, Steph and Draymond hate each other"
    "According to sources, KD faked the whole injury just to make Bob Myers cry"
