James Harden Reportedly Wants to Leave the Houston

Last week, I mentioned there was rumor of James Harden looking to possibly hang with the Sixers and the Sixers would be eyeing Harden. Well, something may happen sooner than later, even though he signed for another season with the Rockets. According to TMZ Sports, Harden wants out of Houston all because of the owner and his political views. And he isn't the only one who wants to leave the team. Apparently, the team's owner, Tilman Fertitta is a Republican who's one of Trump's buddies and a major Trump supporter. So during the election, Fertitta made donations to the campaign and it didn't sit right with the team. Even Russell Westbrook has already reportedly requested a trade from the Rockets and Harden is said to now want out as well. But to lessen the blow of things, Fertitta's team said he made donations to both parties during their campaigns. The Rockets haven't made any comment, yet.
