    Well just this off season:

    MDA

    Morey

    Westbrook

    and now Harden wants out

    Tilman played a huge part in all of those guy wanting out.

    There is plenty of blame to go around but TF deserves a lot of it... and no, not hiring Lue isn’t the reason Harden wanted out... it was just the last in a long line of events.

    Harden wanted CP.

    Harden wanted his good buddy Westbrook.

    Who gives a damn what he wants.

    Like why? That's such an odd reason for it to be the final straw. What the **** does Harden see in Ty ****ing Lue?

    Exactly anyone who believes this is the only reason why Harden had enough is not exactly the brightest tool in the shed. This has been building and building for a while now

    Harden is not void of blame by any means.

    And for as gifted and talented and special he is as a basketball player he has his flaws.

    And a lot of times those flaws equate to not being able to really win a championship. I didn’t say it Kobe and other greats have.

    He is a lazy off ball player
    He is not a good defender tho he has gotten better
    Doesn’t play team ball
    And for some weird reason his basketball IQ shrinks in the biggest moments.

    I can go on and on

    A push over where harden could be continued to not be held accountable or play actual winning basketball like not shooting 15 3s a game.

    And maybe having to actually move and cut and set screens along other things when he doesn’t have the ball.

    You can’t reason with people agendas. You can only argue with people with nothing at stake.

    Silas is darker than Lue, the goal was to get a black coach..... What is the problem now?

    He was our third best defensive player this playoffs. Like....he was actually excellent defensively this playoffs. And all of his advanced metrics pain him as such as well. He actually is probably our second best on one defender. He was the best defensively he may have ever been this playoffs.

    From the front page, I thought this was a thread bump and “Harden wanted Ty Lawson” :D

    I wonder if he's capable of it at this point. He's been pretty unassuming till now, at least publicly. But his arrogance has leaked through from time to time. The 2016 game winner vs. GSW comes to mind where he went back to the huddle and pushed away D-Mo and others when they came out to congratulate him after hitting the shot. He has also been pretty immature with recurrent strip club visits and starting camp out of shape. And it seems the team enabled and catered his ego for years now.

    At some point, a separation is probably best for both sides, but he's got to behave like a professional and put himself in a position to get traded which he certainly isn't doing right now.

    Lue probably wanted 7 mil dollars a year.
