Don’t get distracted; James Harden doesn’t play well with others

Like Kobe, Harden has a tendency to over dribble.
Like Kobe, Harden believes he is an offensive philosophy, rather than playing an offensive philosophy
As much as people think Melo was the “empty calories” shooter of the NBA. Why hasn’t James Harden reached a WCF Finals? Melo did it. I find James Harden to be the empty calorie of the NBA. Just Facts.
Reality Check: Harden’s style of play, limits the teams he goes to. He’d be a horrible fit in Milwaukee, Miami, Toronto, Philadelphia, Golden State, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, etc. Only a handful of situations warrant his talent.
He can demand all he wants. He’s not gonna turn down a PO at 47 million dollars. If Houston wants to keep him they will.
If anyone really believes he asked for a trade because Fertitta is friends with Trump, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
