in response to ppl saying it’s not on KD for Harden coming to BK




“In November, the thought of joining Brooklyn grew more intriguing for Harden. He started training with Kevin Durant at the Mamba Academy, developing a relationship with the team.By Nov. 11, Harden indicated to Russell Westbrook he wanted to be traded to Brooklyn. As a result, Westbrook asked out. Not because of Harden's partying tendencies or the Rockets' culture issues, but simply because he knew Harden wanted out, according to multiple sources close to the Rockets. Harden spent significant time in L.A. with Durant in mid-November and became fully committed to the idea of playing with the Nets. The two met to reaffirm their desire to play with one another and started laying the foundation for a trade, sources say.By Nov. 17, news of the potential deal had spread across the league. Harden and Durant thought it would be finalized on Nov. 22, when trades could officially be announced. But Rockets management changed its tune. Harden, Durant and the Nets had underestimated the Rockets'capacity to posture for a better deal."Houston was being difficult," a front-office executive familiar with the Rockets' negotiating tactics at the time told Bleacher Report.”

Not understanding the point here. Harden still has to make the decision to go, and BK has to ok it

So I suppose that everyone who accused LeBron of tampering for just talking to free agents about where they want to go in 2010 is going to be calling on the NBA to investigate Durant actually convincing a signed player to sabotage his season and force his team to trade him midseason?

What about what LeBron did in 2019 with AD? Once it again it was him setting the precedent.
