    I enjoy Harden's time with us

    But if he goes to the Nets, he's official not a #1 player anymore

    He's not Batman he's going to be Durant's Robin.
    He's anthony davis not lebron


    Sad

    All other things aside, I love this “trade him to a team he hates” idea. Like teams are lining up to trade for a star that hates the idea of playing for them and is trying to force his way to a different team?

    I've been a Rocket's Die Hard Fan since 1979 and I never been as disgusted with any Rockets Player as I am with James Harden. Management has catered more to what Harden wants than any other player that I have seen on the Rockets. We brought in Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook to win a championship, and after 1 year of playing with his best friend, who he demanded we trade for, he now demands a trade. We just gave him a max contract and this is how he repays us. Also, both trade requests could have been handled internally so that The Rockets could get the best possible return for both players.
    Management needs to think of the team and trade Harden and Westbrook to the highest bidder in the NBA. I don't care what James or Russ wants, they are not good people and do not deserve to be treated as such. I watched every game Hakeem played in and James Harden will never be anywhere near as good because he lacks the mental toughness that Hakeem had. And while Hakeem asked to be traded as well, he did win two championships in Houston and I still love Hakeem as a player and a person today. There are many ******* owners in the NBA and I am surely not defending Tillman, but how many of us in real life hate our bosses, do not like who they support politically and still go into work everyday with a good attitude trying to get ahead in life and we are not getting paid $40,000,000 a year.

    So your saying that you did not know that James didn't get along with Howard and Paul and wanted them gone and then wanted his best friend in Houston?

    Where did he ask for them to be moved?

    Rocket River.
    It was not his call otherwise
    I cannot blame him for what management does
    Management asked him if it ok...but i don't think he brought it to management. I need a credible source that says otherwise.

    It's well documented that Harden didn't like CP3 and wanted Westbrook, although it was Tilman who initiated the Westbrook trade idea.

    I am not sure if Harden wanted to get CP3.

    I am quite sure Dwight wasn't Harden's idea. Dwight was the result of Morey's star chasing obsession.

    One thing is correct. None of these three guys ended happily with Harden. Dwight has been bad anywhere he went. So that shouldn't be on Harden. The other two should be at least partially on Harden.

    CP3 is not overly loved by many former teammates and Westie only been in OKC where he was the center of the universe
    Honestly. . . I think he felt coming here that he and Harden would fall back into their OKC roles with Harden the robin
    When he realized this was HARDEN'S TEAM and not his . . .he wanted to bounce

    It's all your speculation. The fact is clear. Harden wanted Westbrook here. Now he doesn't. That should be criticized. He was at least partially responsible for the Westbrook trade, which is a huge reason why we are in this shamble.

    You see. Any CF thread that makes Harden to be a bad guy is not going to end well because a lot of people here still make a lot of excuses for Harden as if he can do no wrong, blaming everyone else other than him. Any criticism is met with piles of flame. Even though I appreciate Harden's contributions to the team, it's the fans' blind defense of him that annoys me.

    When did Harden say he did not want Westbrook . . . . I thought Westbrook wanted out. He was the first to say so . . .. so is that not speculation on your part?

    I am not flaming anyone . . . I am asking question . . .
    Assumptions all around
