Houston Rockets coach Stephen Silas did not enjoy LeBron James' disrespectful act during Tuesday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. On Tuesday, he all but gave up on his teammates, despite the fact Harden himself has had less-than-stellar performances as of late.

"I love this city".

"This is the nasty part of the business that kind of gets swept under the rug".

They were up by around 20 in the second quarter when James attempted a 3-pointer from the corner.

Harden, who had been pushing to be traded for months, declared that the Rockets "just aren't good enough" and that he doesn't think the situation "can be fixed", saying that he had "done everything I can" for the Rockets. I've literally done everything that I can.

After James Harden reportedly listed the Portland Trail Blazers on his preferred list of destinations, it appears the superstar guard is headed to Brooklyn. "I mean, this situation is insane".

Silas found that to be disrespectful and said it "doesn't feel good at all".

Asked if he could play with Harden again if he wasn't immediately traded, Cousins said: "I don't really think that's a question for us". "And like I told everybody tonight, and I told the guys before, when the one-through-15 guys are all on the same page and they're committing, they know their role, they know what they want to do, they know what they want to get out of this, and that's to win, you all will be fine".

Putting together a trade for Harden has proven hard for interested teams due to his super-max contract and desire to join a contending team such as the Nets, 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks or Miami Heat. "This isn't something that all of a sudden started last night". "It's completely unfair to the rest of the guys in the locker room".
