He was one historically bad Game 7 away from taking down a healthy, juggernaut Warriors team along with CP3. It was the closest he had ever been to a championship, and yet he still requested CP3 to be traded.
The Rockets trade for one of his best friends and he got to play a style that let him do whatever he wants on offense. His friend asks to be traded after only one season, despite the Rockets giving up a lot of draft capital.
I’m no fan Fertitta. I think he’s one of the worst owners in the league.
But that doesn’t exonerate Harden. Almost no star has been accommodated in the way he has been over the years. The Rockets aren’t even saying that they’re not going to trade him; they’re just saying that they’re not going to trade him right now. At the very least, he should be a good citizen until a deal comes through. Instead, he’s acting a young rookie who doesn’t know any better, not a 30+ year old mature man.
