NBA insider Ric Bucher dropped the bombshell revelation on "The Odd Couple" podcast this week ... saying Tilman Fertitta's ties to the Republican party and Trump have created a massive divide in the org.

According to Bucher ... players and staffers have disagreed so heavily with Tilman's donations to the Trump campaign -- it's created a straight-up "revolt."

"What I heard is," Bucher said, "and we know how much politics and political position had to do with the boycott and protests during the Bubble -- I'm hearing that Tilman Fertitta’s strong Republican support and donations is one of the things that is contributing to this dissatisfaction."


If you believe Ric Bucher.

The NBA should make him sell the team for supporting Trump's campaign.

Harden didn't know that a rich white guy supported the Republican party?

He's dumber than I thought.

If true, James is the cuck we always thought he was.

I loath Tillman but this is absolutely bull shite.

Harden is just trying to get social media more on his side

Harden was actually the only player that I saw to publically voice support for police.

If there's any truth to this, seems more like a ploy to ensure he gets moved before next season.
