“It definitely … It was wrong. It wasn’t right. It wasn’t right … So something good wasn’t coming out of this.” said Harden.
James scored 29 points with 6 dimes and 6 boards in Philly's victory over Brooklyn this evening.
- After Philadelphia defeated Brooklyn 101-98 on Saturday and following a slew of deadline trades, including former Nets players Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durnat, Harden was asked whether there was anything the team could have done to keep in Brooklyn.
- He responded: “Yeah, there was, like, a lot of things. But it was just a lot of dysfunction. Clearly. But it was a lot of internal things that I’m not going to ever just say, put in the media or anything. And that was one of the reasons why I chose to make my decision. But now, fast forward to date, I don’t look like the crazy one.”
- Continuing his response Harden added, “I don’t look like the guy or the quitter or whatever the media want to call me. I knew what was going on and I just decided to … Hey, I’m not built for this. I don’t want to deal with that. I want to play basketball and have fun and enjoy doing it. And fast forward to today, they’ve got a whole new roster.”
- Harden declined to answer a question about whether his decision to leave was related to Irving, saying, “The reason I made that decision to get out of my comfort zone, which was leave Houston and do everything that I did to get out of there, was to come in and play with KD and Kyrie. And with that being said, that didn’t happen as much as I would like to or probably the organization wanted to. It was just something where I knew it wasn’t going to change. So, for me, I just had to make an individual decision for the betterment of my family and my career and what I wanted. And that’s what happened.”
