    This statement was made by a coach as well, who has connections throughout the league and is close to a lot of players. I said months ago that Harden was developing the Kobe syndrome. That is other great players starting to not want to play with him.

    Charles finally exposed this on TNT but he specifically referenced bigs. The statement I heard from a coach very specifically included perimeter players not wanting to play with Harden as well as big men.

    The rub here is that there are also a lot of players that James doesn't want to play with either. We've had several opportunities to acquire guys and James made it clear he'd prefer not. When he made that known trade talks were nixed.

    James has more control and power in this organization than everybody but Les.



    Exactly.

    No kidding with that.

    Current / former implies that it's a FA. TJ, Dwight, dmo, JET.

    It's clearly Steve Novak. That traitor... after all that Harden did for his career while still in Houston.

    So it's not Terry, Dwight, Jones. Obviously it's not Harden. Couldn't have been Josh Smith, Andrew Goudelock, or Michael Beasley as they were not here at the beginning of the season. I doubt it's Lawson since he's not in Houston anymore.

    That leaves:

    Ariza
    Capela
    Motiejunas
    Dekker
    Beverley
    Brewer
    McDaniels
    Harrell




    Who could it be...

    COD and Cyber both disagree. Both have said James is well liked and respects around the league. Why you always lying

    Yes, very true statement. This could be a major problem for us. Yes, he was voted MVP by the players last season, but those thoughts have quickly shifted as he has a negative perception now. Thank you for chiming in!

    You can be "well-liked", but that doesn't mean players want to PLAY with you on the court.

    Not surprising. I'd take Harden's side on that one too.
