    It's not bull, its just not "cool" or "woke" at the moment or whatever these kids are saying these days.

    On the bright side:

    • Harden didn't bring a gun to the locker room after trash talk from a card game.
    • Didn't defend DeSean Jackson and added anti-semetic claims
    • No ped allegations
    • No drug arrests
    • Didn't punch a player on the court
    • Didn't punch a fan in the stands
    • Didn't go on a homophobic rant (hardway sr)
    • Didn't get arrested for domestic abuse/drunk driving (Kidd)
    • Didn't choke his coach (sprewell)
    • Doesn't have a rape allegation with a woman at a hotel.
    • Didn't have a sexual harrsement case at the work place (isiah thomas)
    • Didn't abruptly give his resignation on national TV and said the GM backstabbed him. (magic Johnson - ex lakers president)
    • Didn't hook up with a girl in the bubble and missed playoffs. ( :D )
    • Didn't cheat on his wife (too many nba players to name)

    He was late for pre-season games...

    I think they will if Harden is not traded before the start of the season.

    Uhm yes it is. Players who chose to stay with teams are a rare exception and partially the way contracts were constructed it restrained player movement and FA benefits. That has changed, hence no “loyalty”.

    Do you honestly believe MJ stays in Chicago if he lost championship games? No rings for Dream in Houston? I would be shocked.

    I’ve said it before n I’ll say it again Harden is not going to lead us to a ring he needs a superstar that’s better than him to get us a championship. Yea we almost got there with cp3 but he drove him out. He wants everything his way and still it hasn’t worked for him. I’m good if we move on from him hopefully for a good haul. Dude is a next level talent but all his personnel moves that he’s had his hands in have failed.

    What? Come on, man - they need to try to convince him this is for the better.

    If he accepts it great, if not.. lets wait for the right trade.

    That why you don't lose my guy. Loyalty is what you make it not how others perceive it. I'm guessing you are not married, perhaps have a open relationship? Lol Loyalty matters. Especially to mobster Tilman.

    No one available such as Lebron and Curry.

    let’s see what curry does this year before we crown him as better than harden. He’s never really had to carry a team. He was banking on klay being healthy to save him this year for playing defense. Last year he got the injury excuse. Let’s just wait and see with curry. A lot of the media are still living in 2016 when it comes to coverage of steph. Meanwhile other players have gotten better

    He got a ring and two final appearances as the clear cut best player on his team by a signficant margin with a first year head coach. He's proven it already.

    if he was the clear cut best player then he should have finals mvps no. How did Durant come in and become the the mvp of the postseason both times. Once maybe a fluke but not twice

    Well, he did lead the team in scoring yesterday. And does he need to be a high-scoring player for the Rockets? They have Harden and a lot of scorers. If he had scored a ton of points yesterday people would be saying he's a ball hog who'll never work alongside Harden.

    I can see a lot of y’all wouldn’t take a break up so easy.

    She’s not into you no more man.

    Stop texting and calling and Facebook stalking you look ridiculous.

    Move On.

    I don't see this as a positive or a negative really.

    Harden wants out - I don't think that has changed. But he is showing up and playing with the right attitude. So all you can do is hope that this team wins and see what happens
