I don’t blame Harden here. Harden could have left several times. But he stuck it out in Houston and signed extensions. He gave Houston 8 years.

But at this point, Houston is backed into a corner. Harden is 31. He knows he only has a few years left as a top player in the league.

If he wants to win a title, it’s now or never, and Houston has no way to upgrade the team except for a years long rebuild. I honestly don’t blame him.

He’s stuck it out with the Rockets longer than most superstars these days stay with their team.

He chose not to join a super team when he could have, and the only reason he’s looking to be traded now is that he’s 31 and doesn’t want to be part of a rebuild.

Agreed 100%. That Nets team isn’t guaranteed a title. Who knows what KD will look like and Kyrie has had his own issues in big games.

I do, the reason we have zero draft picks and Westbrook are because he decided he didn’t want to play with Paul anymore

I am fricking sorry he had to have to ball so much and play on a team complete designed to his play

If he wanted to win, he could have tried to move off the ball fricking ONCE

So the frick what?!?


Should every 31 year old in the league be placed on a contender? Why does this perennial loser get special treatment

Dude had all the tools to make a run. Maybe just maybe he's not champion caliber.
