Brooklyn Nets' James Harden sorry for how Houston Rockets tenure ended
Brooklyn Nets star James Harden has apologized for ending his tenure with the Houston Rockets and has shared with ESPN's Rachel Nichols that he feels pre-blockbuster trading has been going more smoothly over the past month.
"I really don't like him because I'm not who I am," Harden said when asked to reflect on the weeks leading up to the deal. "Drama, extras, what you want to call it, negativism for me. I don't really like negative energy. It dries up. So I don't like how it happened.
"I thought it could have happened much smoother and easier, but that's what happened."
Harden's desire to leave Houston after eight years as a title contender was a secret in the weeks leading up to this season. He started the year with a $ 50,000 fine for violating COVID-19 protocol after the league saw a video of him communicating at a club without a mask.
Things came to light after the defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers on January 12, when Harden announced that his missile was "not good enough" and it was an "irreparable" situation.
The next day, Harden is traded with the Nets.
The former MVP told Nichols that he wasn't trying to be selfish and that "the front office knows where I am and what I want."
"I'm sorry about how it turned out, but I think I have to do what I have to do to get where I want to be," said Harden. "And it's an honor for Houston, they don't have to swap me for Brooklyn. You could swap me anywhere, but there are some people standing there. And it ends upright, but they just don't like how it turned out to be. this or played in this second month. "
