    What others? Post them. You just posted a tweet from a guy with 100K followers LOL while I've posted real NBA sources and major news outlet.

    Edit: LOL that's from June 30th of this year...what does that have to do with the trade that happened TWO YEARS ago?

    Harden literally talked about how he wanted to play with Westbrook when the trade happened and how they were going to be "great because they knew how to play together"...

    Initially, who do you think came up with the idea to swap Westbrook and CP3? You really don't think Harden was that person?

    Edit: I'm 100% done with this conversation if you don't have an intelligent response.

    https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...-the-worst-contract-hed-ever-seen-per-report/

    that fking interview with Tim MacMahon where tilman literally btch about the contact.


    But u know what u can go on believing what u want, it's a waste of time trying to convince folks that refuse to look at the evidence that comes straight out of our owner's mouth.

    You are wrong.

    Harden may want things, lots of things.

    And very often got his way.

    But ownership AND front office are responsible for personnel and charting future of the team.

    PERIOD.

    And I'm tired of talking about Harden.

    It's not about Harden.

    ITS ABOUT THE ROCKETS AND THEIR 7TH CONSECUTIVE WIN.

    honestly we won and we have posters on here btching about harden and sprouting anti harden narratives. move the fk on and celebrate the win. It's not everyday u get a 7 game win streak right after 15 lose streak. It would b nice to see how far we can get until it's over.

    Man, going back over the highlights, everybody contributed to this win. Everybody got some shine, from Brooks and Gordon to Alperen and Wood, let alone our great civic heroes Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews. KJ Martin and Tate doing their thing. **** that was fun.

    That didn't come "straight out of his mouth". Do you even know what straight out of someone's mouth means? Just read the f***** article. It basically blames Harden and Tillman while saying Daryl Morey was "the only CP3 backer". I wonder who the source is there...LOL

    Regardless, if you want to use that...it once again says Harden wanted it made as well.

    "That trade was made because Tilman Fertitta wanted it made -- he thought Chris Paul's contract was the worst that he'd ever seen in business or sports -- and because James Harden wanted it made."

    Harden tonight: 25 points on 4/16 shooting, 3/12 from 3 and 8 TOs. Unbelievable; what happened to him?

    Listen to the fking interview. Go push your anti-harden narrative in the nba dish. Man isn't here anymore.

    It's one thing to dislike harden cause he doesn't show up in playoffs, but to blame Harden for the dismantle of a championship caliber team instead of our cheap ass owner is just asinine.

    I agree 100%. This entire argument got started because "DatRocketFan" replied to my statement that "Harden wanted Westbrook over CP3" by saying no he didn't and that it was all Tillman. It was a FACT Harden wanted Westbrook over CP3...just like it's a FACT Tillman was the one who made the trade a reality like you started.

    Anyhow, it's in the past now and done talking about it - let's enjoy the NBA W streak leading Rockets!

    U agree 100% and then literally state an entirely different stance.
    Harden may influenced the decision, but tilman did not like the contact and forced the trade to occur due to the contact being so fking expensive for his cheap ass. There is literally a thread about Tilman being a cheap ass, but meh if u don't want to learn the truth keep believing that poor tilman was forced against his will by diva harden.
