NBA journalist talks about how James Harden calls the shots for the Rockets
If I'm the Rockets owner, I demand my GM & coach explain why Carmelo was excommunicated so quickly. What was it specifically James Harden found intolerable? You know very well he was behind Melo's exodus, just as he was responsible for Kevin McHale's firing & Chris Paul's trade!!
