    Daryl Morey said that Harden pushed for the Westbrook trade........ with the idea of adding Westbrook to the core of Paul and Harden. The Rockets did the same with Jimmy Butler. The idea was to add to the two stars.

    James Harden did not want Paul traded. Harden was told that a Westbrook trade could not happen without Paul being included. Harden was upset but said he still approved of a Westbrook trade. Days before the Westbrook trade was made, Harden was told that it was unlikely that a Westbrook trade would happen and he was fine with it.

    James Harden just wants to win at this point.

    I agree with all of this.

    But, @jordnnnn has said that Westbrook is making the team worse and that this isn't about CP3. So I read this naturally as "So, we'd be better off without Westbrook?"

    So either he agrees with what you've said above or actually he thinks that team is better with Westbrook off of it.

    Because I've said all along that its possible to have a bad rating and still be a plus for your team. I've been saying this all along that the team results matter and if the team continues trending upwards with Russ playing a lot of minutes then that's all that matters. Not this stat or that stat but the team performing better.

    #1 Daryl Morey has stated that the plan going into the off season was to add to Paul and Harden.

    #2 The Rockets were going to move Capela and Gordon to add Butler to their line up.

    #3 Daryl Morey has said that James Harden wanted to add Westbrook to Harden and Paul.

    #4 There is no reason that the Rockets could not play: Paul/Westbrook and Harden...... especially when they wanted to play Paul/Butler/Harden

    #5 Yes Harden still supported the trade for Westbrook after he was told Paul would have to be included, however that doesn't mean that Harden wanted Paul gone.

    #6 Austin Rivers has stated that there were no issues between the Paul and Harden. This was confirmed by JF who stated that they played cards together on the flights.

    #7 Just because you do not hangout with someone outside of work does not mean you want them removed from your workplace.

    You are trying to start drama where there really isn't any......... James Harden wants to win... PERIOD.

    Ok so Harden was told the only way to get WB was to trade Cp3 and he still approved the trade. Ergo he shipped Cp3 out for WB. Case closed.

    Harden also believes he can't win with Cp3 cuz he shipped him out because he wants to win. Case double closed. @YOLO you see this? GG no re. Just stop man.

    And you posted a whole a bunch of nothing. Congrats too.

    Fact: Harden shipped Cp3 out for WB

    Don't claim anything about your ******* false narratives anymore even your source admits it.

    WHat false BS are you talking about? Harden was already told the only way to get WB is to ship out CP3 and he still approved the trade. It doesn't matter how upset he was he still approved the trade. If your boss was upset and fired you did he still fire you or not? And Harden was clearly so upset about it he didn't even bother talking to Cp3 since the trade happened. You are the one who doesn't make sense all the articles, youtube vids and even your own ******* source Nook all say Harden shipped out Cp3 for WB.

    At this point the one with the false narrative is you don't claim Harden didn't ship out Cp3 for WB because he did.

    His PER was 4 points higher in '18 but only 58 GP vs 35 already this season.

    Sadly, OKC's record might be a worse reflection on Westbrook than it is good for Paul.

    There's a good chance that OKC will face off against in Rockets in R1 of playoffs.. hopefully we won't embarrass ourselves and lose to them otherwise heads will definitely roll. Tilman in a panic, anger move might just blow up the entire team and tank for 5 years.

    Sp now we are judging the team on Statistics?

    How about we let the season play out 1st and don't we have a better record at this point?

    You are right. We’ll see how the season unfolds. Hope they can get it done.

    I am just letting you know that if JF stands for Feigen then he is not an objective source.
    He is a mouthpiece of the organization.

    They dun hate each other, it doesn't mean they like each other. Playing cards meaning there is interaction.

    Not going deeper than needed into this.

    James Harden did not set out to get Chris Paul traded.

    James Harden wanted to combine a star player WITH Paul.

    If James Harden had such an issue with Chris Paul, he would not have wanted to add another star to go with Paul.

    I really do not see why you are making such a big deal out of all of this.

    James Harden does not hate Chris Paul and he did not set out intending to get rid of Paul.

    Jonathan shares what the org allows him to.

    You dun see 'Stand with HK' rogue posts.

    I am not familiar with Ackerman's tweets unfortunately.

    Card playing doesn't mean they like each other's playing style.

    Off the court they are friendly when on the same team, I get that.

    That said, thing is blown out of proportion by the media, Chris had different opinion on how to set up plays, that was all.

    i don't think you need to be. you have multiple things that are tied with the organization, yet cf's wants to make up their own theory or narrative. rivers can literally say its a bunch of bullshit. the infatuation is rather odd but hey cf's gonna cf's
