Hawks' version of cyberx says this about Rockets trade rumor

I had a feeling this would happen. James has a bad rep amongst players around the league. Ex teammates don’t have a lot of good things to say about him. I was hoping we could trade him before his value dropped so we can start our rebuild. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone (probably morey) leaked a story about him being drunk before a game. We all know Daryl will play dirty to get what he wants. The media will eat this up! They already hate James!

 

Rocketinsider?? Who the...

 

I expect Harden to be traded before training camp...we saw the Knicks talking about how they were willing to bring Melo into training camp and get uncomfortable which we all knew was BS because they simply weren’t gonna take Ryan Anderson or whatever garbage he brought back in a 3 team trade, but OKC swooped in and gave them what they wanted

some team will come in and make the deal for Harden...whether it’s Philly including Simmons and Tilman stopping with the pettiness, or some team desperate to take the next level to possible contender

 

Don’t understand how not getting the ball equals to Harden being detrimental to a franchise and culture. People really reaching.

 

Drama queen wanna be insider

 

I’m so excited to dump Rivers. Dude is a snake that runs to the media every chance he gets to air out dirty laundry.

The dude is a drama-queen biznitch and that’s a fact.

 

This whole thing is just fishy. When Harden got trapped at half court every other game he gave up the ball plenty. All these scrubs couldn't score 4 on 3 and they gonna complain James is the problem.. good riddence.

 

He was also disliked by the Clippers players

 

Hope this is not true about Harden but probably is. Scroll down to NBA Supes post

From NBA SUPES

Update:

James Harden

Boston was working on a deal for James Harden regardless of what they are putting out there publicly. The truth is, Boston did detailed research on James Harden. Even more than what was reported here and James Harden has a toxic rep. It's not just former staffers and former players. A number of current players don't like James. That doesn't mean he doesn't have allies. MDA, P.J. Tucker and a number of others that like James but his rep is really really bad and he also has a lot of other issues I was told not to talk about

 

...Continued from NBA Supes

Houston has moved from James, the relationship is done but James has to repair his image. Even Brooklyn has a number of people in their org saying to not touch Harden regardless of MDA, Nash, and KD are interested in James.

He is not sure what will happen with James but it's unlikely anyone will trade for him as Tillman is particular where James goes and won't be forced into any move.

There is belief that the Westbrook relationship is redeemable in Houston

 

This toad is a fraudulent charlatan on Barbra level

 

Yawn.

If he was so hated the players wouldn't have voted him their MVP.

 

Ya all remember docs spastic looking kid yapping on about how I’m a primer scorer after scoring 41 on the kings bench players right?

 

I used to care about all of these idiotic rumors for some reason. I can’t even finish reading them now

 

LOL

Ainge up to his negotiating shenanigans again.

He always does this.

 

If someone is an insider then news scoops will build reputation over time, that or a verified status, but who actually labels their display name like that.

 

yep Chris Paul is head of the players union.

 

Obviously, the "toxic" rumors, as they start to surface, are strictly to try and drive trade value down to make him attainable again.


Let's just hope the Rockets don't give in. Stand strong. No pick swaps. Multiple firsts (4 or 5), and a young stud player.

 

I want more for Harden.
That was what OKC get for Paul George.
