We get it, just like getting traded in the middle of the season is hard for a player we get it. But it’s always an excuse, it is always throwing your team under the bus. They lose to Memphis ‘Oh it’s his player’s fault,’ Memphis was playing G-League guys and two-way guys. Then you look at his quotes over the weekend, now he wants to take credit for the James Harden trade to the Clippers working out. He wants credit for that, there’s never accountability with that guy.”
